Great tool idea, simple design, smart design at that, and overall a great bonus for the operator... Definitely will be making one of these... Tho, i would consider chucking that rod in a collet chuck, drilling it undersize for a bearing ball, and well, shoving a bearing ball in there, as the round, hard as a pecker - steel ball will definitely render it more precise, that is if the parts in a ``cycle`` are pre-machined to have the ``identical`` referent surface for the rod/ball to bump against...

Cheers, yep I have plans to stick a ball in there at some point but as it was made in a rush it didn't turn out to bad and I was working to 2thou for the parts needed so was good enough at the time. Hope you make one and enjoy using it.

Hi Matt, Thats a great bit of gear and very versatile. I,m going to make one for my Warco WM 240, Great channel smashing to watch. Stay Well Regards Mike

Thanks so much Mike for a really nice comment. Good luck and let me know how you get on, one addition add a ball to the end of the rod to make it a bit more accurate, cheers for watching.

Very nice idea, multi function accessory!

Cheers, that part turned out way better than I thought it would.

It could be a post apocolipitic lathe, if there is no power you can turn with the crank handle.

Love it, That's definitely going on the build list. I'm now wondering how that might be adapted for doing half stops as well. I've got half an idea but not sure if it would lose accuracy too much. As an aside it might be worth looking at how you might lock off your cameras focus, the focus breathing is a bit distracting.

cheers, let us know how you get on with your build and how it all works out, as the camera goes, yep had some problems with it in the past, if you look at my more recent videos 99% of them are sorted (when I remember, easy to forget when trying to remember to talk and machine to a size!) thanks for watching.

Great idea and implementation! Wouldn't spring-loading the pin make it easier to use, saving you having to undo the locking screw every time? Or would this introduce play and reduce accuracy?

@mattsbitsnbobsworkshop

Thanks George, the spring will work up to a point, I have tried this in the past and not a fan, as you say play is introduced as the pin tries to ride up the gear with any force on the chuck (from tool post drill etc) you could use both, spring for scribing etc and locking it down for drilling ops, cheers.

Nice job man.

A very useful attachment indeed. Food for thought. Is there such an attachment for a Myford Super 7?

@mattsbitsnbobsworkshop

Thanks very much, Myford do a really nice drive handle www.myford.co.uk/ found here, search spindle driving handle But Im not sure if changes wheels can be added to it. I have a ratchet handle I made for driving that I will cover on a video at some point, as far as indexing Im trying to work out a way, so watch this space (if it works)

Are the plans in a issue of ME or did you build it on the fly ?

@mattsbitsnbobsworkshop

Ай бұрын

No plans, yes a bit on the fly, a bit in my head, built from scrap for a job I was doing at the time, then it morphed twice. The other reason no plans is to make it fit your lathe and your requirements, there is an article in MEW number 327, hope you have a look.

you never showed how you changed each position on the indexer..gear wheel.. ?

@mattsbitsnbobsworkshop

It's the same way as I showed using the pin, undo the locking screw, lift the pin, move to the index point you require and relocate the pin, it's that easy, cheers for watching.

Hi Matt. Great design for the component position stop, retractable for boring. I'm admiring your Arboga Milling machine, are you going to do a video on it? How did you aquire/drop on it? You don't see any of those on YT. Sub'd...Tony

Cheers Tony, much appreciated. Yep the Arboga is a bit of a rare beast, probably down to the tooling issues that I have 99% sorted for my needs. I will do a video on it at some point. It is a nice bit of kit and I'm still learning what it can, for its size, a lot (it takes up the same space as a large pillar drill). The sad story of a friend knew a couple and when the man passed his widow asked my friend if he knew anyone who may be interested. Did have a moment if "no" when it came to the tooling. But soon sorted that.

shame you didnt add the extra holes... say its 36T, thats 10 degrees. shove a hole at 5 degrees, and you have 72 positions. throw it at 9, 18, 27, youre getting to 1 degree increments. and so on... and one little thing you find on good indexing heads... adjustment for zero. if youre trying to mesh into a gear say, and its not lining up with any notches...

Thanks, I always hope my videos make people think and not just follow what other people do and this, as the title says has just morphed again. This was made for a job with what I had, a lathe and change gears, that needed 12 holes evenly spaced, not at so many degrees but I have since checked it against a rotary table and it is the spot on. The zero is easy to set, just slacken the large nut at the back, adjust the gear so it meshes correctly and tighten up, easy zero. Cheers

It's an amateur production.

I’d love to learn more about lathe indexing but I’m having a terrible time understanding your accent. The audio is so distracting I have to mute it and watch what you’re doing.
