| Dial indicators on my lathe |

Me again :) As I am to cheap to buy glas scales for my lathe, I decided to mount a dial indicator to the cross slide and make a saddle stop with an indicator too. Today I started the saddle stop with a sketch and a chunk of aluminum: The contour was roughed out on the cnc with a shell endmill and some finish allowance: Finishing was done with a nice six-fluter: Chamfering was also done in that setup: The backside then was faced of to thickness. Roughing out the step where the prismatic cutout will be located: Cutting the prismatic cutout that fits the bed of my lathe: And if even fits :D And with an indicator: There will also be an adjustable hard stop to protect the indicator... More will come soon :) Stefan |
