well I ended up making new handles for the taig and the sherline lathe. Everything was done on cnc... including the drilling and tapping of the retaining pin which is 6-32... Each wheel started as a 2.25" X 1" thick solid brass each cut from a 14" long piece of bar stock. All edges are smoothed off with scotch bright on the lathe.

Very Nice!

O yeah I also forgot about the fact I ordered a digital tach like the one in punishes 67's photo. I ordered one for the taig and one for the lathe. I also ordered the new ways for the new Y travel. and the new 1/2" 20 stainless all thread.

Thank you I really like them. a lot even if they will not be used much. It still should look good...LOL

Wow Scott, you've been a busy fellow! I love they handles. I should get some to add to my Unimat. As you have already stated, manual handles on a small CNC are about useless. I wish I had listened to everyone before I kept my handles. It would have saved a ton of time on the conversion. Looking forward to seeing this one in action. Plus some of the products we've talked about.

well I have all the metal for my extended Y axis and I have started the ATC I have the tool holders in production already... had to make a few more tool holders for the lathe before I can do the spindle adapter... Hope to have it done this week... then it will be on the rest of the parts... I'll try to post pics later...
