David's parting tool arrived and fits just perfectly on the lathe! Nice and sharp, centred well and I get nice curly chips scrolling off!! :-) A donation made to David's charity, many thanks! |

Everyone's happy! :thumbup: Thanks Chris. David D |

I'm jealous, Chris. Must get round to making one. Glad you spotted the error on your original sketch in time, and turned the locating tenon through 90 degrees! Pekka - though you can't real;ly see it from the pics, I'm sure Chris will be using the tool upside down, so it doesn't unscrew the chuck. Andy |

Pekka, sorry, I missed your post. I will of course be using the parting tool upside down. Andy, yes, it works well and I'm very pleased. It is certainly really handy having the tool in place but with the speed in which it can be removed and replaced, I've actually got it off the machine and slide it on and lock it down when needed. Andy, I should have corrected the diagram as I knew I'd drawn it the wrong way the second I'd done it!! I've got plans for the file rest now. So, when I come to a stage in my clock build where it would be handy, I'll make it! Chris |

Hi, I have just bought a Cowells lathe & will be copying both the QCTP & the rear tool post, can any one supply me with the details of the parting tool used in it please? Peter |
