Indexing System for Multiple Insert Lathe Tool Holder

An indexing system for a lathe tool holder comprises a lower housing assembly with a rotary driver shaft interfaced with a tool turret and rotatable by the tool turret, a rotary driver clutch secured to the rotary driver shaft, and an outer rotary comprising an internally threaded pocket. A rotary pusher with an externally threaded portion mates with the internally threaded pocket. Rotation of the rotary driver shaft causes the rotary pusher to move linearly without rotation. An upper housing assembly mounted on the lower housing assembly comprises a sawtooth connection for a multiple insert lathe tool holder head. A camshaft driver interfaces with the tool holder head and has a cam channel that circumscribes a path that is interfaced with a stationary cam pin. Linear movement of the rotary pusher causes rotation of the camshaft driver and thereby rotation and linear movement of the tool holder head.
