Re: Shop made tooling
Truthfully, I made it and used it once (sharpened a cutter) to make sure it worked. I covered the ways and still got dust underneath. I haven't tried it again since. :-( I'm going to have to modify it now as I bought a Phase 2 QCTP and dont have a way to mount it.

Re: A Fileing Rest
Great tool Brian, it took me a while to work out just what it was for as the word 'file' didn't register...:biggrin:
Will be making one of those asp, by using the indexing pin on an Atlas, making squares and hexes on a part to fit a spanner will be so easy, thanks for sharing it..

Thanks lads Its a real good tool to have, it makes the job so easy. it will not alow you to go to far, or not get the job flat.
Just remember that the guide washers and the rollers must be free to rotate.
Regards Brian.

Nothing too fancy, just a tool holder for my lathe.
Not really a tool but a neat idea I found online for using ur phone in the shop without getting it dirty.

Thanks for sharing your latest project Duffman
Have you had a chance to try it out on the machine yet? The other tip with the phone is a good idea too. It would help keep the phone in better condition over the long haul. :thumbzup:

Early contributors to this thread: What happened to the pix??????
This great thread was started on 3-27-12 and already some of the pix have disappeared...?
Any chance that those authors could re-post their pix?

Re: Early contributors to this thread: What happened to the pix??????
Harry, It is mostly my pics that are gone. It seems Photo Bucket had a problem, and all my pics from there are gone. I have them on my computer, But just don't know if its worth all the trouble to edit all those posts. It might be easyer to add new posts with the pics in place. I would have to ask Nelson and Tony about the pic re placements. Its just a good thing I saved my pics, and didn't rely on Photo Bucket as my only source.

Tailstock diestock
Well, this isn't up to you guy's fancy work nor is it an original idea, but it's handy. Sometimes finish off a thread with a die (lazy that way) and I made these diestocks. They ride on a guide shaft for accuracy until the threads are well started, at which time I can switch to an ordinary diestock. Made one for 2 inch dies and one for 1 1/2 inch dies.
