Machine tool support apparatus
The machine tool support apparatus includes an elongate bar member that comprises a mounting portion and a collet portion. The mounting portion is releasably attachable to a machine mount of a turning machine. The collet portion includes a main aperture that extends therethrough. A collet retaining assembly selectively receives a plurality of collet assemblies which are releasably attachable to the bar member and secure machine tools to the machine mount during a machining operation. A retaining pin restricts rotational movement of each of the collet assemblies with respect to the bar member. A positioning assembly selectively positions the bar member along a longitudinal axis of the bar member with respect to the machine mount. A coolant assembly applies coolant to the machine tool during a tooling operation. A lubrication assembly permits selective lubrication of the main aperture of the collet portion and the positioning assembly.
