Yes, I use something very similar style on a Bantam, fitted at the back of the cross slide loaded with a part-off blade and 45deg chamfering tool.
My 2 were made by a now gone toolmaker 30 years ago, tool height adjustment is by knurled screw and is very positive to adjust to exact centre height.

Yes, I have a complete unit with clamping screw and tee nut.

Not for parting tools but would be good on a small lathe.

I just bought it because i liked it lol.

That's a Hardinge tool post.

6th photo down Rear Tool Holder Slide Assembly

Why is the parting tool presented to the workpiece at an inclined angle ? Looks to be tipped over sideways at approx 30 degrees ? Seems that the toolholder has an angled face cut deliberately to facilitate this ?

Picture of the tool height adjustable rear mounted toolpost fitted to my Bantam, would be equally at home on any lathe either front or rear mounted by changing dimensions to suit.

Ok, thankyou for the reply, let me ask that question in another way …………

What might that particular tool be used for, am a bit puzzled regarding what happens when that inclined tool meets the workpiece ……….. is it a variation of an inverted shear tool perhaps ? Am off to do some googling and learn a bit more about inverted tools and the sloping face on that particular inverted tooolholder.

The photo certainly isn't very clear, but I find that astonishing

… Not disputing what you say; but utterly bewildered by the photo
