| Description: |  | This invention relates to a universal toolbox which is intended for sliding off shafting, for cutting V and square threads, and also for a steady-rest. It is provided with two or more radiating tool-holders, which are adjustable according to the size of the article to be turned, and which connect with a scroll in such a manner that the several tools close up simultaneously, and a uniform action of said tools on the work is effected. The tool-box is secured to the slide-rest of the lathe, and it is adjustable, so that it can be set in an oblique position for cutting square or V-shaped threads. |  |
