- Works with 0XA tool post
- Makes threading easier and safer
- Made in the USA
Insert and secure a threading tool bit in the rapid retractor holder, put the rapid retractor in your 0XA tool post, and tighten in place.
Move the rapid retractor toggle handle into the down position and use your lathe positioning to locate your bit to its starting place for cutting a thread. Cut your thread as you would normally, but at the end of your thread cut rather than having to quickly crank back your cross feed you simply flip up the toggle lever to rapidly retract the bit. It snaps your bit back approximately 0.200".
You may now easily move your tool back to its starting location for cutting your next pass of the thread you are cutting. Move the toggle lever down to reset your tool bit back to cutting position and take your next pass.
