These Slide Tools provide a rigid, accurate movable slide which permits longitudinal turning of tapers, turning behind shoulders, turning irregular shapes or contours, necking, forming or cutting-off. They are actuated by a guide mounted on the front cross slide. Movement of the slide is equal to the amount of throw on the cross-slide cam, which controls diameter. Length is controlled by the throw on the cross-slide cam, which controls diameter. Length is controlled by the throw on the lead cam. The tool bit remains on the same center line throughout slide travel.

This means it is possible to turn tapers which will match a taper gage, or contours which can be controlled by the shape of the shoe on the guide. Provision is made on these tools for holding No. 230 Back Rests. They are furnished with one hardened blade.

 **Turned diameter will pass through shank bore.
