Very nice work on a lovely machine. How will you clamp to the ways? Mosey |

Thank you :) --- Quote ---How will you clamp to the ways? --- End quote --- With a clamping strap under the ways, pictures follow.. All parts of the bed slide stop. From left to right: - Body of the stop - Clamping screw - Clamping strap (I welded a nut under it, as the material was a bit thin for a durable M8 Thread) - Tommy bar for the clamping screw - Hard stop Assembled stop from the underside, the clamping strap is held in position with two pins to prevent rotation: From the top: On the lathe: So far, so good, next the indicator on the cross slide :) Stefan |

Well executed. Makes me want to make one! Been away from the machines for too long working on the furnace. Making things that make the machines work better is so rewarding! :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap: |

Damned fine! Can't wait for the next chapter. Gorgeous finish. Mosey |

I like that. If you make a set of vee-bottom gauge blocks, in multiples of the travel of your dial gauge, you can use them to sit on the vee between the headstock and the gauge mount to give you a very accurate method of turning shoulders or bores to a certain depth from a face. |
