  1. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I started with a plan to make a block to lock on the ways and cut it in half and make a stop and a indicator holder but half way threw I decided to make one do both. Now I can bring my carriage into position then lock the stop in place then swing the indicator out of the way or take it off.

  2. Thanks I wanted the V but the only way I could figure to have done it on the lathe was to have set up a milling attachment and have two separate pads on each jaw and milled a 45 on one end. :mad:

  3. oh by the way ,
    that is a very nice lathe dog , do you have a job between centers in mind or are you just making tools for something that comes down the pike , either is ok
    can't have enough lathe accessories
    I had a job between centers and I tacked a few pieces together to get me by and when I had some time I made this one.
  4. I have been spying on you guys for some time now and there is a lot of good workmanship and knowledge on the site so I thought I would add a little something. Here is a dog for my lathe, it was a quicke but it turned out well. Started out with 3/4" square stock and heated and rapped it around a 1" round, pressed it flat and welded it, cut it off, drilled it out for 1/2" round for the tang and plug welded it in place, then drilled and tapped it for a 1/2" bolt. I put the tang in so the round part of the dog is swinging toward me. Then to the sand blast and paint. Some day I will make a few more.
