DTI toolpost perch

(1/2) > >>

MadNick:
Evening,

With my bargain £1 DTI refurbed and ready for action I made a perch for it on my toolpost -



Took a couple of hours to make the perch and cut another slot into the toolpost to house it.

I used it today and it saves a load of time setting up the mag stand - very happy :)

You'll get a lot of use out of that, Nick.  I got so fed up with wrestling with the arms on my cheap mag mount trying to get the DTI in the right place that I made one to fit my QCTP like a toolholder. Much easier to set up and gently bring the finger into contact using the cross-slide and carriage handles.

HI well dun

MadNick:
@Andy - you are so right.

In my quest for accuracy I use the 4 jaw chuck all the time as my self-centering 3 jaw has seen better days and, if you use a 4 jaw, youve got to have a DTI on hand.

Nick
