Tool Some tools I made for my 10K Southbend Lathe

Tool

The spindle had a 1 5/8"x 12 internal thread. I made the spider to thread into
end of the spindle.

Wow, a spindle with an internal thread on the back side. Now that's what I call cool! Might like an external thread even better. Mine has neither one.

I might think about adding a collar that has both that uses the existing spider's threaded holes for lock screws.
 
@terry_g Did you convert a horizontal drive 10K to underdrive?

Yes I did. I also took an old electric motor and cut the bearing housings off the end housings
and mounted them back on the motor bracket then made a shaft to replace the armature.
I made a bracket and mounted a new motor on the back of the drive with an extra belt and pulley drive.
That way I could reduce the speed as I had no need of the higher speeds and this way I did not need
to use the back gears as often.

Very creative. How did the flat belt get to the spindle?

That's tiny.... Is that for a 0XA tool post? AXA tool holders are 1" X 1.5" X 3".

I think we are confusing tools with tool holders. Most BXA Tool holders take 5/8 tools. And I think the tools are what @terry_g is talking about.

It gets all confusing when you have tools that hold inserts instead of being a solid piece of tool steel. In both cases I call the 5/8 piece a tool or an insert holder but not a tool holder.

All just my own convention not anything official.
