Mark I love the way you ended the video with the ghost dance. The wonderfull world of 1's and 0's we live in today.

I have a nice selection of fasteners I get from a truck accessory company that are left over from assembling a variety of things. Some are SAE, and the others are metric. I also got some nice bolts from the scrap yard. Sometimes they are new from the scrap yard,but usually not.

I could feel your sense of satisfaction when you tested the fit of those tapers for the first time. Awesome!

From cutting steel to cutting rugs! Nice tool. Simple and fun beginner project, too.

Nice build! Another type of stop I've used is a collet stop. An internal thread in the collet accepts the stop nut. A threaded shaft that has a lock nut on it, runs inside the stop nut, and is adjusted into position and locked in place with the lock nut.

Great job 👍 thanks for sharing. And appreciate the disco moves. John Travolta would be proud of you 😄😄.

Hi Winky. Just made the spindle stop, had to modify it to suit my lathe but an extremely useful addition to the lathe. thanks for the drawing. Keep up the great videos

Great job winky. I can see where that would come in handy.

Love the music, and the dance at the end!! Nice tool too!!

For my 9" SBL, I made a spindle stop that uses a short plug inside the out-board end of the spindle (way simpler design). It is locked in place by a grub screw that backs out to engage a hole in the spindle wall. This arrangement gives me more depth for the work-piece ( almost the entire length of spindle plus chuck). The first iteration used a grub screw to hold the stop-rod, but my next one will hold it like a collet to avoid upsetting the rod. One could argue that a short plug would not hold the rod straight, but I have not found it to be an issue. Nice machine work, Winky! Best regards.

Just finished mine for my Logan 820...nice project...thank you!

Nice job just thought I'd add a tip for cleaning the spindle bore and tailstock bore or anything else get yourself a 12 gauge shotgun cleaning kit the brass bore brushes work great you can put the rod in a drill in the kit it'll have a couple more brushes and also a felt pad holder that works perfect to hold a strip of scotchbright and cloth I usually do the brass brush then scotchbright with wd40 then cloth 👍👍👍

Nice design ! I could use one of those on my lathe for sure! Another project added to the list !

Good job. I made a similar one based on Harold Hall's design. It has a plug with a MT3 taper that goes into the nose of the spindle and prevents the rod from moving about. It also has a cap for the end of the rod that just fits into the bore of the cushman chuck to act as a more positive backstop for parts.

Well done Winky Thanks for sharing!

Mark, well thought out I might have to copy. Enjoyed..👍👍

Prowling around today and found this. Making these adaptations to our equip rarely is a bad thing. Good to see you again this fine day my friend. Looks like a live center for the tailstock would be next eh. I see some chip loading in your file. I found a product at "Rio Grande" called "Burlife" It is inexpensive and the very best file, burr or even coarse sandpaper even hole saws that stops those nasty pieces that can ruin a finish. You will love it, GUARANTEED. What a great addon to the lathe. Good post bud.

I thought you might internal thread the inside piece and then use a piece of threaded rod for the stop with a jam nut to lock it in position. But that might be harder to finely adjust since it might move when tightening the jam nut.... Again nice video and great idea!

Great idea winky, keep'um coming.

Nice upgrade, thanks for sending

Very handy tool Winky.

Thanks for the video.

That swivel ginder stand is nice.

MUY INTERESANTE ESE UTIL ,UN TRABAJO BIEN ECHO COMO SIEMPRE

This channel has a little of everything machining, disco happy dancing and a great cowboy YeeHa at the end. Another useful addition to your shop in the regular keep it simple and effective style. When did you install a DRO on the mill drill? It is a game changer for sure.

I really enjoyed the video, I don't want to admit how many times I have watched it :) you tool holder is normal except a bent spanner ? it would be nice to see a video on the tools you used, the normal cutter for facing off is not the one I would choose, But I am an amateur :) could explain why ??? thank you

Great

Get yourself a Rose Index. It'll aid in milling those slots.

23:46 Nut drop.... obvious why but its a new trick to me thankyou :)

Really a well done project, and well ma video! It has its place in every machinists toolbox. A nice tool when turning multiple parts. But... using a collet chuck, I see an uncertainty as the collet chuck pulls the object deeper into the spindle. Who wins, the collet chuck or the spindle stop? You don't like the Joe Pie style, turning the threading tool upside down and lathe in reverse turning? Joking! Time 17:20. Emery paper, or a file, often does the trick better then more cuts. Time 17:50. Wow! That's a piedestal grinder! My one stands on the floor.... Time 18:30. I thought so. It was bottom it out earlier... Time 20:05. Slit sawing.... Poff, poff,poff... Is that the same kind of Chinese saw blade as I've got? Joking and laughing! Time 20:55. A slightly dangerous direction of cutting, climb cutting... End comment. A very useful tool for every lathe,

sweet

Just an idea, why couldn't a person have put some cuts in the inside taper piece too to lock down on the 1/4" rod also, thus eliminating the need of a set screw?

ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑΑΑΑ ΚΑΛΟ Σ/Κ

I have to make me one of those for my Logan.

Upping the entertainment factor I see... Nice spindle stop also!!!

2:30 bizarre observation - looks to me like your leadscrew threading dial pops up and down every revolution - odd !

Chinese finger trap. Hilariously since I was a kid with a chinese finger trap components with torque lock capability somehow make that connection through the synapses of my right n left brain which I belive are connected with, said finger trap

I had some time so I gave all your commenters a like. I don't know if it helps but it sure can't hurt eh.

And if you haven't got a bandsaw, use the mill ;)

Looks my lathe.
