Here's a little project in the works. This is the second I've made because a friend liked the 1st one so much, I gave it to him. Now all the sudden, I want to make a precision cut and needed to make yet another one.
The old fashioned lathe dogs tend to run out of balance so here's a contraption that works rather nicely. In it's current state, it's not very safe but a side plates will be welded with holes to access the pinch bolts and the corners will be contoured. The main pillars each need a V-notch in the center. This one opens up to 4" and closes all the way down. This was just a quick test fit.
Construction and use are pretty straightforward...
