Title: Post turret tool holder for engine lathes

Abstract: A post turret tool holder for an engine lath has a body member rotatably mounted at the tool holder station of the lathe. This body member is provided with a plurality of peripheral faces each located extending from a diameter passing through the axis of rotation of the body member and at an acute angle opening inwardly toward the axis of rotation. In this manner, each face of the body member forming the turret can be oriented for selectively presenting a tool disposed in a socket provided in the face in proper position relative to the work holder without bringing adjacent tools into a position of possible interference with the work holder and workpiece and permitting the socket to be of sufficient depth into the body member to securely hold various tools commonly employed with engine lathes without interference with the axis of rotation of the body member.
