The rotation of the other gear 77 drives the rotating rod 76 coaxially fixed therewith to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 76 drives the coaxially fixed rotating column 72 on the same side to rotate. The rotation of the rotating column 72 drives the coaxially fixed The screw rod 73 rotates because the output shaft of the motor 78 rotates alternately forward and reverse, thereby making the screw rod 73 rotate alternately forward and reverse. The screw rod 73 rotates alternately forward and reverse, thereby making the connecting rod 74 perform linear reciprocating motion. The connecting rod 74 moves under the guidance of the guide block 75 and the guide groove on the top surface of the mounting plate 2. The movement of the connecting rod 74 drives the tool setting instrument body 3 and the tool setting probe 4 to move.
