RE: Carriage Stop - Hawkeye - 12-16-2013

I looked around for a piece of rod to use for the stop and spotted a broken tap. Chucked it in a drill to spin against the grinder to clean up the broken end and take the tops off the teeth. I ground the pointy end to give it a small flat - less sensitive to swarf than the 1/4" diameter rod on my other lathe.
