Hi Chester Comet lathe. The numbers on my angle graduation strip wore away years ago and setting angles has been a pain. I just started making some pullys to convert my minimill to belt drive ( dont ask :doh:. I came up with this quick way of doing it. this is the plate the topslide mounts on to, I drilled two m4 holes on each side and at the front. now I can quickly fix a steel strip on the side and use a perspex gauge to set the angle. here's one for the pulley, and one on the front for screwcutting. I works a treat and it's quick. the angles might not be accurate to 30 seconds but they are consistent. hope this is of interest to someone. Oh, in case you did ask, I trashed the low speed gear in the housing. :Doh: :Doh: cheers Roy. |

Hi Roy :thumbup: Thats a canny solution to the graduation problem , at times I am squinting to see if things are at the angle I require when setting the Myford compound over :palm: Rob |

Cheers Rob. It seems that you were the only one who thought it was interesting, ho hum. :bang: Roy. |

It's always interesting, we just don't always pipe up.... I know what you mean though, sometimes you wonder if people are interested. Don't forget we get lots of lurker's. :thumbup: |
