Tool post grinder build Clough42 inspired

<< < (10/10)

PekkaNF:
Now TP grinder and QC toolpost are now compatible. Original top slide was a miserable piece of crap. Bought a little oversized QC TP kit, and extra toolpost for another lathe. Planning to adjust tool post gauge height that it could be used in both lathes.

For this smaller lathe the total inser height is 50,20 mm. Therefore TP grinder needs a spacer that has been ground to correct thikness.

Base plate has two different thread locations for toolpost: other to bring normal outside lathe tools to optimal location (over front dove tail bearing surface, the other location to maximum turning diameter, but tool tip will be in less optimal location.
