Not had much time for workshop, or gonna do's, recently. Someone on the mini lathe forum suggested toolpost drill chucks. Rather than overload the short reach tailstock quill. Got me a couple of 10mm chucks. Keyless, plus Peatol adaptor. Milled a flat instead of keyway....... Key type. Taper fit, on end of 12mm silver steel...... Used boring bar toolholder........ Clocked true to chuck centreline. Made toolpost positioning spacer, to maintain centre position....... Working position...... Not had the time to try them out properly, yet...... David D |

David That should be a very handy piece of kit. No worries about having to stop and reset the tailstock. Thanks for sharing that David. :D :D Cheers :beer: Don |

Thanks Don! :thumbup: Gottit, Frazer...... Thanks! That's a handy weapon for small dia/ deep holes....... :thumbup: I think SPiN made a peck drill, on here, some time ago. :scratch: David D |

A couple more gonna do's. 100mm vice. Removed the hard jaws. Replaced with 20 x 20mm aluminium......... I now use steel jaw protectors. The few times heavy gripping force is needed. As they wear, usually to the right hand end, I'll rotate them, fixed to moving. After that, mill away the marked areas, as necessary, and start again. Should last for years....... :thumbup: Lathe tool, height gauge....... Piece of 30mm dia. with crossbar. Should have made one years ago! :palm: David D |
