Been a long time since I have posted, health issues.
Back in the shed how so things are much better.I have posted a couple of pictures of what I have been doing.
Added a dial gauge to the cross slide....I can now see the units and can also see if there is any play in the slide.
If not needed I just turn the unit to the side.
The tail stock die holder I made to be used with the bit holder....Will make another when I learn how to do tapers.
The red painted bolt is to help me find the two pieces needed when not in use, also to find the nut when I'm finished using it!!!!!!
