Cutoff Tool Rear Mounting Block, P/N 3016

For those who already own a standard P/N 3002 cutoff tool holder, this spacer block will lift the cutoff tool holder the height of the blade, allowing the blade to be mounted upside down and used on the back side of the crosslide. With the standard P/N 3002 holder and this adapter, you have a choice of mounting the cutoff tool on either the front or rear side of the table.

The advantage of mounting a cutoff tool on the rear side of your crosslide table is that it can remain there, out of the way, until needed. After your part is completed, it can be parted off from the back side using this tool combination without having to remove your standard tool post.

If you do not already have P/N 3002 and wish to use a one-piece cutoff tool holder that is designed to be used only from the back side of the part, see P/N 3018.
