My ideal solution

<< < (2/5) > >>

Yes Bernd, spot on.

What it does is basically turns my lathe nose into a Myford one instead of a D1-4 camlock. But could be used on any lathe with a 2MT or larger fitting.

No need for tool envy Bernd, these are for the other side of my machining 'empire', and are there due to necessity rather than anything else.
 
I have just proved their use, not these ones, but other specialist tooling I have. I have just won a contract to make model steam engine valves. Got a phone call today yesterday to verify. All due to the accuracy I can now manually machine to.






Now the struggles begin. The shop has to be fully operational within the next two weeks.

Many thanks gents.

That goes to prove, if you are willing to put a bit of effort into it, you can beat the big boys in this game. It is not an earth shattering job, but as they say about little acorns.

I forgot to add to the main post a piccy of the taistock chuck, and how it works.



This little 80mm chuck should be able to hold up to 6" diameter tube.
