Title: A few tools
Post by: Trion on March 03, 2011, 10:14:45 AM

I have made a few tools the recent days, to make work a bit easier :)

I had 3 lathe dogs that were too short to use with my back plate, so I made a longer one

I had this Stanley "Yankee" old school screw driver laying around, when I figured it would do good with a countersink on the end. For those of you not familiar with such a thing, it forces the countersink to rotate when it is compressed. It has a ratchet function so jerking it up and down will make the chips fly ::)

My sorry attempt of turning a MT2 adapter for a drill chuck. I need some kind of very slow rotating screw driver/drill to make a simple feed on my compund slide

While at the taper work, I turned down a pair of M10 cap screws

Welded inside the cap and milled them down to this. Oh no, a welding defect :lol:

Screwed into the end of for instance a MT2 collet chuck with M10 drawbar makes a nice drill/end mill holder for my sloppy tailstock

Having done a few 10's of thousands of countersinks, this type of tool does the job
