A useful lathe tool. I'm sure you'll see more uses as you use it. Also sure to help with setups even in non 4-jaw chucks.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I have a similar list of repairs. Thanks for the idea.

As a new hobby machinist I look forward to your videos on how to make tools for the shop. I hope you are past all of your equipment failures. Having worked in IT for almost 20 years I know how frustrating it can be not to mention the expense in replacing failed equipment.

With a John Deere L110 the carb sits higher than the fuel tank and the way they route the fuel line under the deck it requires a fuel pump to send the gas up to the carb. I sealed up the fuel pump, bypassed the gas tank altogether and mounted a fire extinguisher up on the dash to gravity feed gas directly to the carb....works great. LOL

Ouch, that sucks you lost a pile of gear and software. It's cool to see what people have for ideas of home made tooling - a number of us are working with "poor man's DRO's" and home built gear as we have to keep the cash flow in the right direction! Glad you're back up and running!

I cant explain "how" it happened but just had to deal with the "results". I am the very last residence on both the electric grid and the fiber optic grid on my street....I take the brunt of surges. I lost everything in 2003 from similar event ☹️

Surge protectors for your electronics are a worthwhile investment. UPS even better. Get an external hard drive and use it for regular backups, but only plug it into the computer when making backups or doing a restore. Cheap insurance.

You can drill a small vent hole in the drill chuck 'sleeve' to prevent suction effect. I wish I had a view like that from my workshop!

Hey Rich, I am definately going to make a pin-chuck slidey thingamajigies. I am thinking of drilling out the existing mig tip rather than buy larger ones if I need more volume. Good idea.

Whatever occured came in thru the fiber optic lines while I was sleeping, it fried 100% of of the phone company's stuff as well as 1/2 of mine. One computer got smoked, another had the ethernet port fried and 70% of my Adobe CS2 suite software wouldnt function...was quite the mess.

Why not just run your indicol arms backwards towards the tail and mount your indicator on the tailstock body. Then you have no clearance issues and you won't have hot chips melting your indicator face.

Great video Richard! You don't have to explain anything to me about not making videos--I've been out nearly six months. I love that pin chuck sleeve! I just need something the size of that beautiful little Albrecht chuck to start the project. They're only $441.45 new, so that shouldn't be a problem, right? Your poor man's DRO footage made me go back and look up my own indicator holder project (kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4ykrNxpp7W0f7w.html). I never thought of mounting it longitudinally to measure quill travel, but now you've given me the idea to try. Thanks!

The pin chuck came in a box of Jacobs chucks I got about a year ago....we both didnt see it in there.....nice surprise!

why not use a magnet base on the bed to hold the indicator instead of the lathe compound?
