irnsrgn Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 With a lathe and a mill you can make your own accesories. I started with a pair of large Angle Blocks that were a gift and drilled and tapped them for easier set up. photo 1 Then I needed an Indexer. photo 2 Then making a few extra parts, photo 3 I had a dividing head.

HWooldridge Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Outstanding - shows what a real machinist can do if he sets his mind to a task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 winter were always more or less slow times in the shop, so that was time to repair and build stuff for yourself. besides I love to make tools. probably cheaper to buy, but then I can say, I made that.

Norseman C.B. Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I love the K.I.S.S engineering on that dividing head. My old college instructor made one for a mini mill from modified plans in the home shop machinist mag, about twelve years back.. lots more detailed parts. Is this one good and steady like it looks ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
