    Tool Lathe indicator holder

    lets see.... The printer I used there was the Bambu P1S and the filament is a generic PETG-CF from Elegoo. It prints perfectly using the "Generic PETG-CF" profile.

    Old Iron And Pride In Craftsmanship

    At the grand old age of sixteen, I went to the final closing sale at the Singer plant in Singer, Glasgow. It was an auction, and there were the usual buyers there for the machinery, sewing machines and crates of spare parts. It was a very sad day. The whole town had been built around that...

    Tool Lathe indicator holder

    I wasn't expecting this much interest! The base is made from 1-1/2x1x12" CRS (PDF attached) it only fits the rear way on the V10P. The front clamping screw doesn't need to be gronked down since the profile is a close fit to the way cross section. A lip would make it hard to remove in this...

    Tips/Techniques Eccentric turning advice needed

    The longer nose on that design is something I'll incorporate before cutting metal. I was considering making hobbing cutters with this - my lathe is imperial only (no change wheels) so making metric hobs is probably not an option on my machine. I have modelled the Eureka in F360, for metric...
