Nice work :beer: What you've made so far looks very much like most of a pump centre - telescopic with a spring in the cylinder, pointed centre on each end - for centring a centre-punch mark in the 4-jaw chuck. One end runs in the punch mark in the work, the other in a punch mark on the toolpost, adjust until the pump centre shows no runout on an indicator, then you have centred the work in the chuck :thumbup: It's a good first project for a new lathe, and a tool you'll use all the time - and you've almost finished it already!

Welcome, and thank you Mick... You've made me really appreciate the space that I have, despite not being as much as I'd like. If the bug bites you hard, you might just need to find a bigger room to put those machines in! :) |

as long as you is having fun and lerning :headbang: |

Nice start there Mick. My wife would kill me if I put a lathe in the house. Mind you, trying to put my lathe in the house would actually kill me! |
