| PeterE's version of a Saddle Stop |
| (1/3) > >> |
| PeterE:
One thing that is very useful on a lathe is a saddle stop, many has told me and finally I got around to do one. :beer: Having studied several versions, more or less complicated, the following became my version. Fig 1: I guess you can see the resemblance with f ex Gadetbuilders version which I thought was compact and useful. Fig 2: The stop bar is the same size as my Dial Gauge when extreme care is necessary. Fig 3: This is how it looks off the lathe, I hope you can see the parts, if not ... Fig 4: ... here they are. The main block has a milled recess for the clamping dog which also serves to guide the dog properly. The dog itself has a small heel to make sideways or bending forces less prominent on the main thumbscrew (the large one). The stop bar is 8mm dia and is locked by a small cross-bar with a recess to fit the stop bar, if you understand how I mean. All parts are either mild steel or brass. A small but useful project I think. BR /Peter |
