Just read this........ :doh:

Boy I could have done with this thread when making up the spacers for my mill X axis mod....(I'll post pics when its complete...dont hold your breath! )

Having to cut several ( well 3..) spacers to the same length was a pita....

Thanks Bogs for sharing

Is that anything like a fig newton of the imagination?  :D

framey:
would it be possible for someone to post a pic or 2 of how this actually works please  :(
i can see the idea behind it but havent got a clue on how to use it lol

how would you actually insert the material?
do you cut it roughly to length first?
 :scratch:

Similar .......... and also closely related to "a figment of your emancipation"  :bugeye: ...............   :clap:

Framey, it's pretty straightforward, the bolt in the centre is adjusted and tightened with the locknut so when you insert a piece of stock it hits a "stop" ......... then part off at whatever length you require, once you are happy with the stop and lathe tool position just lock off the carriage and each piece you put in the chuck, push up to the stop and then part off will be exactly the same  :dremel: ........... hth but shout up if you want a some more info ........ as for adjusting / tightening either do it with the chuck off or use a hollow socket wrench and cut a screwdriver slot in the end of the adjusting bolt.

John .......... nice write up  :thumbup: as ever  :beer: ........... and a useful bit of kit, I'm ordering a blank MT3 arbour as I type ............. my own to do list must now be almost as long as the one SWMBO keeps adding things to  :smart: ............. OK lets be honest here guys the "other" list is probably 10 times longer than mine ........... and as "youngest son" has just bought a house ........ "In need of modernisation" ........... I believe said list will multiply 3 fold shortly  :(

So I may be absent for some years time  :bang:

 :coffee: CC

framey:
maybe its easier to use than imagination doing it lol
