Hi
The reversing lever and stand has some small fiddly bits so I'll show a bit of the detail
Starting with a couple of bits of 1/8" steel plate drilled as per the plans
A couple of washers on each bolt as spacers
My home made rotary table being centred and squared under the quill
Move the table over 3 1/4" and position and mount the stand
Machine the outer then the inner radius
Machine the outer faces to size
The stand fits here
The reversing lever starts as a piece of 3/8" X 1/8" steel flat bar. I used the DRO to accurately drill the holes
Roughly shape the handle leaving oversize
You can see on the plans that the handle is 3/16" at the top but the steel is only 1/8" thick.
Heat up then hammer until its 3/16" thick
Square up in the mill with extra support from an angle plate and centre drill
In the 4 jaw and centre with a Dti
Turn the top slide a few degrees and carefully turn using a tail stock centre to support
Turn a couple of spacers 1/8" thick
The trigger starts as a bit of steel in the mill and carefully shape
Drill 2 holes
Cut off and file to shape
A 1/8" slot is milled across the bottom, sorry no photo I forgot
Thats it so far
Cheers
Rich
