Thank you very much

Nice job! I have a suggestion which I learned myself. Really simple stuff can be made without mistakes going along. If it get's a little more complicated, as your gearbox certainly is, it really pays to make a plan in CAD or an reasonable accurate sketch by hand before start. I know it's an extra effort, but it pays of when you make stuff. Ideally you only have to handle/machine a part once and when assembled you're done. Off course tweaking is always a part of the process but adding length to already cut plates doesn't have to happen when you work like this. I'm a designer/builder for 28 years now and I learned the hard way. Get an idea, make a drawing and select all the materials you need when doing so. Make simple drawings to print (or draw) for the parts to be made. Make the parts, assemble and be happy. Hallelujah! Thank you for sharing your honest journey! Best! Job, the Netherlands

Thanks for the feedback. I know it to be true. I just didn’t know how to use cad at the time. Learning the program was on my goal list for this year and I started this project last year in October. I’m already knee-deep and using fusion 360 as we speak.

Striving to make a project the best you can is how we all learn and improve. This'll be something to be proud of.

I have all the different bar sizes. Rigidity is the key to success though. I use it on the bp mostly with the shorter bar. It works well but is less effective as you go bigger on diameter just w vibration. On the k&t it’s like cheating, so ridged, basically perfect finish every time insert is not damaged.

Your right. What is ground breaking is adding one to a tailstock that doesn’t have one. How many people you seen do that?

I enjoyed the video and the machining, but even after watching the beginning several times, I still missed the reason why you want a 2 speed gearbox. Is it that sometimes it does not go the full distance fast enough, or you want to be able to go in slower sometimes for delicate drilling? Maybe it is me and just missing the explanation. Hopefully someone can enlighten me so the reason matches the fun video of machining. :)

@VanoverMachineAndRepair

It just adds more capabilities. On most nicer machines they have two speed tailstocks especially on bigger machines. Fast speed helps bring quill in and out quick where as low speed reduces input torque required on handle for big drills
