So here is a shot of the omni post getting the tool bit slot milled on the lathe. I would say that it is very stout once you get it dialed in, I say that because I didn't come aboard it at first and it swung obvious by the milling mistake you can see. Side note you can see the homemade MT2...

Hey Janger, I was thinking that "rear feed screw" was a bit of a misnomer it would be better called a rear mounted auxiliary power shaft as it would not be a screw at all. I was planning on simply using it as a jackshaft so I could power the factory feed screw from the right hand side with a...

Hello everyone, I also have the B2227L and I love the solid bed on it, seems to keep it very rigid in use. I bought this machine because of the full cast base and the gearhead. I too find the change gears a royal pain to set up but once set it's fine to use. Current mods to this machine are...

No that is a stock photo from another site, the first photo with the steel rule is my set up. Also yes I try to do all the work I can on my lathe even milling. I used my four jaw and simply centered it on the hole I wished to drill and then opened it up to 38mm with a boring bar. On my next...

Much like the pic above, as you can see you can have 90 deg or 30 deg or what ever angle you choose to mill for your tool holder. The set screw that's parallel to the big hole is the height adjustment, it just rests on the bottom of the tool post where that large shoulder is/ Those cuts around...

Oh the bit goes on the flat cut / shiny side, I still have to cut the slot and drill and tap the holes just like any other tool holder. I just didn't have a way till tonight to mill the slot.

Sure thing here goes excuse as it's my first time. The round post itself is 38mm dia and the tool holder is made out of some 1x2 in flat bar. I also just finished my MT 4 to MT 2 adaptor so I can use an endmill holder in the lathe spindle.

I know this post is a bit old but Janger have thought about an omni style post? I liked it so much that I spun one up over the weekend. I used to love turrets but got frustrated having to shim them up to center, also to get the tool into position sucks at times. The first holder I made for my...
