Pump centre
« on: December 31, 2012, 01:08:06 AM »
Will be doing some turning of irregularly shaped objects in the 4 jaw soon, so decided to build a spring-loaded centre
so I can use a wiggler to centre the workpieces a bit more accurately than the old Mk I eyeball... :bugeye:

All straightforward turning and drilling, nothing too special here. :thumbup:

The bits:


Assembled:


At home in the tail-stock of the Taig (Peatol) lathe


Best part of this one was that all the material including the spring were onhand
already!

Cheers, Joe
