Abstract:
1. A turret type tool rest equipped with a rotary tool, the tool rest comprising: a tool rest main body; a turret having a rotary tool including a spindle core adapted to be swiveled and indexed with the turret, the rotary tool being rotatably provided at the tool rest main body, the turret comprising a rod-like phase determining pin retractable provided therein and adapted to project therefrom; a non-swiveling housing provided inside the turret; a tool coupling spindle having a spindle core and being provided at the non-swiveling housing for driving the rotary tool; a movable member adapted to slide frontwardly and backwardly in the tool rest main body; a first coupling member fixed at a top end of the movable member; a second coupling member provided at the turret; and a third coupling member provided at the non-swiveling housing; wherein the turret is adapted to be clamped with respect to the non-swiveling housing by sliding the movable member frontwardly and coupling the first coupling member with the second coupling member and the third coupling member so that the phase determining pin projects and engages the non-swiveling housing and so that the spindle core of the rotary tool and the spindle core of the tool coupling spindle are fixedly positioned in phase; and wherein the turret is adapted to be unclamped with respect to the non-swiveling housing by sliding the movable member backwardly and releasing the coupling between the first, second and third coupling members.
