Hi Guys
Again, let's just say and admit, this does not in any way compare with some of the beautiful projects posted here. However, like the Man said, we need only make a contribution to keep this place busy - which should suffice for now !!!
Here's another elementary project we followed from Home Shop Machinist magazine. Just needed to convert the sizes and simplify the design to conform to our materials on hand. BTW, the tapered front pin is Silver Steel, guess U Guys call that Drill Rod, it's hardened, whilst the body is unhardened Tool Steel with a loaded spring to boot.
We badly needed one of these as the piss-willy bought ones, or even the Custom-made purchased one, was way too small for our work and even machine. This one should last a good while.
Thanks for eye balling.
