Casting a Saddle Stop

<< < (4/4)

vtsteam:
Great project David! Well executed, looks right and functions perfectly.  :clap: :clap: :clap: :beer:

 Hi Pekka, there is a push rod in the apron, which engages with the bolt in the saddle stop. When this rod is depressed it releases the apron feed mechanism, and the saddle stops.

                                                                   Cheers David

Meldonmech:
 
     Thanks Guys for all your comments.

                                                         Cheers David

Davo J:
Looks bloody great, top job on both the post and the casting. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us that want to start casting.

Looks very in keeping, nice period style and far prettier than the genuine article.
I bought a genuine one off ebay a bit back for use on my Little John Mk2, of course my lathe does not have the auto feed cut off feature. 
I wonder if I could fit a Raglan 5 inch saddle to my lathe if I could find one.
