Abstract
A toolholder apparatus is provided for holding a cutting tool adjacent a rotating workpiece. The apparatus includes a mounting block base and a mounting block body slidably supported on the base. A first adjustable connector connects the body to the base so that apposition of the body on the base can be adjusted in a first direction toward the workpiece. A center adjustment block slidably engages the body. A second adjustable connector connects the center adjustment block and the body so that a position of the center adjustment block on the body can be adjusted in a second direction transverse to the first direction and transverse to the rotational axis of the workpiece. A head is detachably mounted on the center. adjustment block. The head is removable from the center adjustment block by. sliding movement in a third direction transverse to both of the first and second directions. A cutting tool support is attached to the head so that the head and the cutting tool may be removed from the apparatus to replace the cutting tool and then the head and replacement cutting tool may be remounted on the apparatus.
