Ok back to the turret and we needed to do a mark up of the outer parameter. First was to install the turret, ram stop bar which had been drilled earlier and rod clamp and nut along with the stop rod. The stop rod had to be sharpen to a fine point so we can now scribe the line, it will be rounded off after this. After scribing the line the turret was move to the mill on to the RT for drilling our stop holes. These stop hole will set the length of the scribe lines when making dials, We have three holes to drill. The first point on the turret is zero position and this will be where we put the set screw. The middle hole will be our ones depth and the two other will be the 5 and 10 hold depth. I made these .075,.150 and .150. After completing these holes we need to reassemble it back on the ram cylinder for mark up of the detent holes. Now that we have the stops for the stop rod to lock in using a transfer punch to mark the parameter with four punch marks one for all detent positions.getting ready to scribe the line for drilling the stop holesdrilling out the stop holes in the outer parametermarking out the detent holes on the top of the ram cylinder. Remember this was the holes we did not want to drill at the bigging of the thread so we could get good alignment.a start at making the handle drill out the slot. I first predrill holes smaller and finish with the final size mill.I then move it over to the rounding table to round off the ends.the handle all complete with knobs.
