Two little rainy day projects.

I finally got tired of fumbling with a mag base for my lathe. Getting an indicator to stay put was dang near impossible...



Made out of a couple scraps of aluminum and a cam-lock off of my daughters old bicycle seat. The indicator is half of a pair I bought on Ebay for less than $10.00. They are identical 2" travel models and both just needed the lenses popped out and the pointy bits snugged up...good as new!

The next project is one I have meant to do for a couple of months but just now got the free time to do it.



I drilled and taped my cross slide so I can rear-mount my tool post and part things off upside down. Works a LOT better!!

Nice little rainy day projects.

I really like that quick disconnect handel for the indicator.

.... You've started something now!!

I can see quick release bits cropping up all over the show  :thumbup:


I still don't get the upsidedown thing... Why does it work so well?  Must be some sort of pressure on gib thing?


Good jobs that man!  :clap:

Any flexing of the tool is away from the work.

Right road up, the tool flexes into the workpiece.
