First Ever Actual Part Made

[RegisG]

Well, today I machined my 1st "real" part that must be fairly accurate and work. Bought a QCTP for my new lathe and it had a blank block base to be made to fit individual lathe. It was thicker and wider with not T flanges.
It works and fits snugly without binding. Here it is attached to the tool post.

Gunrunner you need to order a set of these for the Z axis hand crank. Bill did you just spit coffee on your monitor? :rofl:
