Lathe chuck backstop for dummies
Gerhard Olivier:
Thanks to Bogs I now know whan a backstop does and how it works AND I WANT ONE
I dont have any morse taper blanks and my topslide travel is to short to make one without a lot of luck involved.
The other way mentioned looked like I would be able to manage
So I need a expanding collet that fits the wrong end of the headstock spindle.
25mm MS + lathe +
+Slitting saw
=
This has a 12.5mm bore right through and a low angle taper at one end
Then the Tapered locking bolt needs a Outer thread 12mm *1mm pitch and a inner 8m thread
And ready for parting ( taking it out to the garagde and cutting it with the hacksaw) Parting noise wakes kids
The setup on a piece of 8m studding just needs a 12mm *1mm closing nut and some accesories - like delrin spacer to keep it from rattling and maybe a flat end for the material to rest on.
Enough for tonight
Hopefull more tomorrow
Gerhard

Gerhard Olivier:
HI all
Thanks Bogs , Stew and Im not sure what it is called its a spindex takes 5c collets and Im working it with a 5c to er35 adapter.I got it cheap at the mod eng show.
Just need a little knurling and some small bits then I can start with the saddle stop- maybe do a multy stop rotating index.
