Myford Lathe Tool Slipper
Meldonmech:
The finished slipper was assembled with the lathe tool. The assembly was then held in the tool post of the Raglan 5 inch lathe, set to center height and locked in position.
It looks a simple little job, but it took me all day to complete it. I enjoyed making the slipper, it works very well, and I am pleased with the result.
Cheers DAVID

Ditto.....must admit when I first got my lathe some 10-12 yrs ago it didnt have a height adjustable tp....and I recall my apprentice days gaving to pack tools up with broken hacksaw blades....
Oh the joy of an adjustable one now....wonder how I ever managed... :coffee:

A couple of decades ago I made some precision printer head setting jigs at home for the firm I worked for. As well as the steel I needed to make the jigs I got them to deliver me a long length of 4" x 2" EN8 as part of the payment - made loads of Dickson T2 tool holders from it and I STILL have about 3 foot left under the bench. Very useful having oodles of the things as everything can be set up and left on the shelf for next time. Speeds things up enormously.
