My Logan 820 Lathe Journey

First time using this transfer punch set. Worked great.





Holes and threads done...





And went the lazy route and got an rpm display with sensor... will place it all on the belt cover.

Transfer punch, and they are handy. I have a set that screws in as well to mark the corresponding holes for threaded things.

Transfer punch! Previous post corrected.

I have a set of the ones that screw in...In just one size. I used those on another project based on a recommendation here in the forum! Luckily, this backplate had three threaded holes and it was easier to just use the transfer punch for marking the other holes needed.

I just bought a Spellman set of blind hole spotters, I'm hoping I have enough sizes. The transfer punch sets seem to have a little wobble to them, and it makes me nervous about how much that effects the hole location.

Nice job. Very cool

That’s a cool looking vice on your drill press. Is there a name for that type of vice? I’ve got a pretty crappy drill press and I find it a nightmare getting a vice on there that works well.

Float lock vise. You can buy it or make one… I made that one with plans shared by Mr. Pete…

Give me a moment and I will share video and plans link…

@Ben17484 - here you go:

Also including the link to Blondihacks as she made it with a different handle and also shared a mistake that was made in the plans... plus she made the ACME threaded rod... where Mr. Pete (and me) used an already made threaded rod...

Attached are the plans...

Amazing - thanks @wachuko

I’ll add this to my (ever growing!) list of projects. Looks very useful

Installed the Eccentric Engineering diamond cutter… just playing around with some scrap that I have…

What happens when I don’t think things through, lol

Here I made a bracket for the RPM sensor… kind of proud of how it turned out… that is, until I tried to close the gear cover… hahahahhaha






Back to the drawing table…
