Tool Holders for Holding Single Point Tools
When mounting tool on the main turret of a conventional horizontal turret lathe, a standard type of adapter that is fastened directly to the turret face is used. The adapter holds one turning tool and one boring tool, thus enabling two operations to be performed at one position of the turret.

Special adapters are available that hold three or four tools for performing three or four operations simultaneously, particularly when the turret is capable of moving horizontally in two directions. The T slot principle of mounting, shown on the two form tool adapters is used for most tools that operate from cross slide, regardless of how the adapter is designed.
