:update: Here's mine. I deviated from the plan slightly as far as the shape goes. I adjusted a fly cutter to make the grooves in the body in a single pass. After I did the front and back, I was having so much fun I flipped the part and did the top and bottom too. I really don't like the yellow anodizing. I 'perpendicularized' the spindle post the same way Bogs did, on the faceplate of the lathe, and good thing. The milling head of the big mill is out a bit in both directions, which can now be accurately adjusted. If course, it can be used to tram the tailstock of the lathe too. Mine's way out in both directions: I haven't checked my cnc router yet, but I know that it's out a bit, and it can be used to accurately set the drill press table too. All I need to do is make a nice fitting, foam filled box for it.... :headbang: Paul |

Paul, A question from an electrician with no previous machining experience About checking the lathe tail/head stock, how do you know which is out tail or head? :Doh: Bill. |

Nice job, Paul :thumbup: . I quite like the yellow, too. You need one of John Hill's cushiony boxes to keep it safe: http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=4770.0 Andy |

Just wondering how you reference those clocks to the bottom face of the gadget. They just seem to stick out (scientific expression :bugeye: ) a long way. Pete |
