I have an ugly dog

[Bob Korves]

finally found a 10" faceplate for the big lathe. The slots are to narrow and short to hold the dog! Worthless. So now have to make up a fixture of some sort to bolt onto the plate, to attach the dog.

Face plates are considered to be sacrificial by opening slots, drilling holes, etc to fit the current job. So far I have been unable to do that to mine, which is in new and pristine condition. But, of course, that just makes it a wall hanger, not a tool...

Here's an interesting and nifty work holding for a dog. I think it's called an adjustable arbor- maybe an expanding arbor. The sleeve expands up the tapered arbor and holds the work piece. In this case a 2" shoulder I made to hold a grinding wheel into my new to me grinder. I pressed in a silica bronze core and reamed to 3/4" size- just because this arbor thing is so cool to work with.
