A very simple depth stop for the lathe. http://www.majosoft.com/metalworking/html/lathe_product_strike.html Personally, I would have used aluminium but the brass looks cool. |

Sorry to say, but I don't understand how it works :loco: :loco: :loco: |

Hi Saw Took me a couple of minutes ... When the two screws are tightened, the two parts slide against each other a small amount. The relative displacement thus locks the assembly in the bore of the spindle. I think that's what happens anyway ... :scratch: Good idea, thanks to C C for posting that :thumbup: Dave BC |

Ok that's why he hijacked it in angle :dremel: |

That's pretty much how I understand it as well. Looks simple and quick to make. A friend of mine just bought a 9x20 clone and needs something like this, it might be a good tutorial for him. Just not sure how badly my angle grinder-offcut machine would mutilate that angle. The Alu cutting discs I have don't seem to cut that cleanly. |
