The (Sometime) Trials Of Old Iron

I'm not sure if hanging off the front of the ways is the best place for it, at least not for me anyway. I think that I would always be running in to it, switching it off, or reversing. I like where mine is mounted (well sort of) up above the lathe and a bit behind. The "sort of" comes in that I am unsure if that's the safest place to mount it and the fact that it gets in the way of my chuck key if I try to adjust the chuck on the back side.

Glad to hear that you have one on the way.

Hi tired iron! (smile) have had a similar problem today, I bought a set of cutters of the internet, (second hand )
for my first cut ( sad face ) they polished the steel! Maybe it is ME ! I will give them another go tomorrow regards Bob
