I'm not sure I understand how these clamp dogs work. Is the set screw going all the way through the hex part? Chuck in E. TN |

Chuck The bolts are fastened to the face plate and just act like an anchor, the set screw comes perpendicular from the lathe axis, to push the work against the other bolt opposite it. Instead of actually clamping the work to the face plate your squeezing the work in place with all these bolts around the plate. Bm. Nice job here, I never in a million years would have come up with this simple yet effective practice, dam!!! I wish you would have written this last Tuesday, I tried everything including kicking the cat to hold a piece on my face plate which I needed 100% clearance on!. Well done Anthony. |

Not to be a smart ass, but... quote "The hole was drilled for a 5mm tapped hole and counterbored to 8mm." I see how the dog bolts to the face plate, I'm asking if in the above quote, the hole is all the way through the hex part, as the pictures and the text don't indicate. Chuck in E. TN |
