Making an adjustable carriage stop for the Mini Lathe

This is something I missed often while working on the mini lathe: a carriage stop. This little device makes it a lot easier when turning to a shoulder or to a defined point on the part.
I designed this carriage stop with an adjustable spindle with a graduated adjustment knob. One turn of the adjustment knob results in 2mm of travel of the spindle. With this it's possible to adjust the stop very precisely. To hold the spindle firmly in position, I made a little clamping block on the front which gets clamped with a little red adjustable clamping lever.
Plans for the carriage stop are now available on my Patreon-site: www.patreon.com/wecandothatbetter

Keep in mind, due to very limited resources, I have to improvise a lot and go unconvenient ways which may upset some of the "real machinists" out here. Hope - with some creativity - in the end come to good resoults anyway.

Thanks, you have great ideas and excellent follow thru. You will do better on KZfaq if you show the finished item first, not all the parts with the expectation people will blindly watch 18 min of all the work you put into it. Most will jump to the end and see the products then decide if watching you make it is worth the time, you have missed the opportunity. Filming is good, the work is very good you almost got it. Wish you the best and Cheers!

That's super clever. Your work demonstrates that if you only have one machine tool, go with the lathe. I knew this, because it can make all kinds of mundane stuff, like spacers bushings and bearings, even shafts, with no special tooling. Those are things one would often like in exactly the right size. So you get utility right off the bat with a lathe. You: But wait! There's More! :)

Seeing you do all these operations with nothing but a hobby lathe and a press drill is awesome... The first time I saw you milling on the drill press table I thought you were a madman, but you've opened my mind about what I can do in my own shop without ever needing to spend the (much needed in my tiny shop) space for a mill. The quality of your videos is good too. I like the format, and you make the clips just long enough for us viewers to understand what the operations and setup are with minimalist explanation. Keep at it. Your channel is inspiring and a testament that when there is a will, there is a way.

Proper old school metalwork, you must be super happy with the way this came out! One change that might be useful is to machine a small recess into the carriage end of the aluminium adjuster knob to take a suitable wavy washer. This would ensure the adjuster and screw is always biased away from the carriage and remove any residual movement (though you did a great job with the fit).

Very nice! V1.2 update could be a spring loaded ball bearing detent for the dial. You could put the detents in the dial end and drill and tabe a hole in the aluminum body and hide it bed the screw gripper. Load a ball bearing, then a spring and seal it up with a grub screw. This way you could have the tactile feedback of the ball dropping in the detent at every 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20, etc. Regarding te screw sitting too low you could just sharpen it slightly.

Very nice stop you made, you say it sits a little low, I see it as not yet finished. Instead of remaking what about making a small foot you can attach to the end of the all thread that would offset and match the thickness of the cross slide. Once locktite was used to fix in place it would look intentional and finished. Just tossing an idea that may prevent a do over.

@@WeCanDoThatBetter You are very welcome, I have a new mini that I am working through some of the build issues. Was impressed when I found some of your fixes, when I saw your too low height comment for the stop my first thought was maybe some kind of version of a left triangle shape could solve the height issue. You have got me wanting to work on my lathe but I am just recovering from back surgery so I need a good 8-10 weeks before I can go into my shop. So lots of time to see what others like yourself have dealt with and done. So far I managed to take apart the chuck clean and grind some of the bad casting, the difference in how much better the jaws function now is unbelievable.

Amazing result with such a limited toolset, but it was painful to watch you take a hacksaw to that beautiful acme threaded bar. I'm stealing your fixture for aligning die-punch numbers.

Thanks for your comment! I now have a electric bandsaw, so no more hacksawing anymore ;)

Interessant zu sehen, daß du auch die gekordelte Mutter in eine Ausnehmung setzt. Deine Methode mit der Führung für die Schlagzahlen werd ich mir merken :-)

In der Tat, deine Ausführung hat mir sehr gut gefallen ;) Tolle Arbeit und eine gute Inspirationsquelle! Bei den Schlagzahlen habe ich erst gedacht, ich komme ohne Führung aus, aber habe schnell gemerkt, dass es verdammt schwierig ist ohne :) Zumal werde ich sie noch einmal brauchen :)

@@WeCanDoThatBetter Freut mich, daß ich dich inspirieren konnte :-) Wo hast du den süßen roten Klemmhebel her,????? So einen muß ich nachrüsten. Für die Teilung hab ich aus dem Durchmesser auf den Umfang gerechnet, unterteilt, auf Papier ausgedruckt, aufgeklebt, mit Körner markiert und mit kleinem Flachmeißel nachgezogen. Als Unterlage diente ein Bleiblock, eine Delle reingehämmert und fertig war die Unterlage. Meine Prioritäten bei der Konstruktion waren: schnell zu montieren und zu demontieren (Klemmhebel), Umgehung der Feder für die Keilnut daher Flügelschraube mit Zapfen, ohne weiteres Werkzeug (Schraubenschlüssel) zu bedienen und eigentlich - wollte ich ihn aus rostfreien Stahl machen . . . An einem Anschlag mit Revolverkopf konstuiere ich noch . . . I'm glad I was able to inspire you :-) Where did you get the cute red clamping lever, ????? I have to retrofit one of these. For the division I calculated from the diameter to the circumference, divided, printed out on paper, glued on, marked with grains and traced with a small flat chisel. A lead block was used as a base, a dent was hammered in and the base was ready. My priorities during the construction were: to assemble and disassemble quickly (clamping lever), bypassing the key for the keyway, therefore wing screw with pin, to operate without further tools (wrench) and actually - I wanted to make it out of stainless steel. . . I am still constructing a stop with a revolver head. . .

@@BLECHHAUS Ja, der kleine Hebel ist klasse. Es ist ein Klemmhebel von KIPP, den ich bei DOLD-Mechatronik (ebay) bestellt hab. Es gibt sie in verschiedenen Größen und Ausführungen. Die Teilung zu übertragen ist auch eine clevere Idee. Und ja, ein Revolveranschlag ist bestimmt auch eine coole Sache :) Ich frag mich nur, ob es nicht sehr kompliziert ist, alle Positionen exakt einzustellen.

@@WeCanDoThatBetter Klemmhebel von KIPP, danke, das hilft mir weiter. Also die Positionen sollten mit einer Kugel und Einrastlöchern funktionieren. Was mir am meisten zu denken gibt ist das Platzproblem links vom Anschlag zum Spindelstock hin . . .
