Thanks guys - I thought that I had posted a build thread on this but a search of the welding and casting proved otherwise. If you would like I can put together a post.

No drawings needed Ed, unless you are using AmishCad. This is a classic make it up as you go along project!

Hi and thanks Kenny ,
Yes still working unfortunately ,still got 20 years to do (just a young lad ) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I am a florist LOL ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, narh just joking at present I repair material handling and access equipment , forklifts, cranes and cherry pickers that sort of gear .
As for surface finish ,,,,,,,,,, anything from oh natural , plating , anodizing and other oxide coatings , I do like messing with electro chemistry and the tooling shown previous have just been used as test beds to see how things work/stand the test of time . Anyway way to big of a subject to be discussed in this thread , maybe in a separate thread .
May as well add the instrument makers vices to the post ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,even though they have been seen before .
OH natural finish
Cheers Rob

Tapper turning attachment for the Myford Super 7 lathe .
I lost the photos of it attached to the lathe when new , so these will have to do .

Hard act to follow, but I will anyway.
Called a "nudger" by Bogstandard, who first posted it over on that other forum. Made a set, thinking it was something to do, but I'd never use it. Turns out, I use it almost every time I chuck something up in the lathe. Makes getting parts running true much easier.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts

Wow Rob! That taper attachment is really nice. I assume there was some welding involved in making it, correct?
Gorgeous as usual.

Here's the carriage stop I made for the lathe. I've got a Mark II in the works to fix some of the issues with this one though. This one will get relegated to holding a dial indicator once the Mark II is done.

Your a tough act to follow Rob
A tool post and height gauge I made. In my infinite wisdom its not standard sized so I have to make my own holders.
Die holders for the lathe
Sand blast cabinet, the panels are plastic used for the boards in an ice rink.
A plate roller, I've rolled 5/16 plate 12 inches wide with no problems.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
