the included tool post is a 200 series piston-type
quick-change model. the quick-change lock lever
allows for one or more tool holders to be quickly
loaded and unloaded in two available dovetailed
slots. By having extra tool holders and setting the
tool height in advance, swapping between tool-
ing is efficient for production-sensitive schedules.
