Rear Tool Post for my Cowells Lathe
raynerd:
Cheers guys! Yes, I certainly took my time over making it, despite it being pretty straight forward and I guess it pays in the finish and quality.
Andy, I will try the tool post idea shortly and then see how it works out.
David, that would be amazing... A thin parting blade type tool would be ideal. My friend has a taig with a similar rear parting tool but I can't find anything that small.

Chris.
Found it! :)
10mm high blade clamp. 6mm high under toolpost screws......
I can't get on with it. Too small for me.
Pm your name & address. I'll post in the next few days. Snow permitting.......

Nice job Chris and very well finished... :dremel:
I like the oil finish too but sometimes it takes a lot of heat to get the parts hot enough for the oil treatment... :scratch:
Last lot of parts I treat that way ended up melting the container they were in!! :doh:
You could almost fry chips in it, the oil got that hot.. :D

Chris.
you have made a sweet job out of that wonderful lathe, the tool post is Pukker a nice addition to the shop. :ddb:
PekkaNF:
Nice one. That is really good looking.
That lathe has a screw register for chuck? Rear tool upside down? How thin blade you need?
