Been busy over the holidays

[decca]

Had some time in the workshop over christmas so made a few things for my myford ml7.
A QC toolpost

Made 3 toolholders for it too.
Also made a carriage lock.

A splash guard

And a mini dro for the crosslide.

Had great fun but back to work tomorrow

Much neatness - well done!

Very nice clean tidy work

 

[BrokenBiker]

i like that QCTP

 

[Norm]

Very nice work,

Nice work! Is that DRO made using a 'modified' digital vernier caliper?

 

[dobbslc]

Great work. I only managed loads of faffing around all Christmas......
I like that DRO I'm thinking of doing something similar.

It's a digital tyre depth gauge. Loads on ebay for about £5.

 

[Kent]

Well tidy

Beware of linearity on the tyre gauge / dro. Some of them are far from linear - check it against your dials, or a dti

Yeah, I didn't expect it to be very good but when I checked against my dials and test machined some pieces it was surprisingly accurate.

You also have a mill I guess??

No, a milling attachment for the Lathe.

great piece of engineering, nice job

Now I am impressed. Don't suppose you could turn into double boost and show us some video of the more strategic setup?

Absolutely! We need to see how you did this!
