you lot most probably know already but thought id put it in .on my enco/grizzly lathe I have problems in my chuck key reaching the lockdown thingys on the lathe .I had a watch on few different how to make chuck key but im not that switched on yet .I found that a 1/4 inch drive extension bar with a rachet fits perfectly .is there any no no about using that setup or do I have a go at makin one /buying one
cheers
p.s I had to make a brass coolant line to a flexable head the other day and a old mate 91 yr old told me to close the end and fill with table salt then once full close that end and bend .so easy to get a tight 90 bend in 3/8 tube its even better than using the tube bender I have an doesn't damage any of the tube .hope it may help some as I recon itd be great for oil lines brake lines ect
