It seems that your only looking at the nut and threads sticking out. Why not make a extension piece as long as you want it and thread the one end as the lock nut then it is just a matter of removing the locking nut and screwing it on to take it's place. :beer: |

Hi Peter, here's a link to the stop I made for my old Compact 8 clone. Maybe something in it that may help you in your project?? http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/threads/55107-Made-a-work-stop-for-my-lathe?highlight=COLLET+STOP |

Hi Folks, PeterE, your idea for a direct dividing attachment for the spindle, reminded me of how I got around that problem on my Master. I wanted to make some more dividing plates for the miller, so I went this route... Pics are fairly explanatory, the first was totally direct, the second was a bit more involved to get other combinations.. |

That rotab application is so clever it hurts me! :doh: Could have used something like that VERY many times. THANK YOU! Pekka |
