Nice Dave, are you using aluminum or other?

Dave,
Is the collet arbor bolted to the back of the faceplate with three screws like the Levin version?

I need to make one of those.

Cheers Dan

Hi Dan,

No.   I bought a blank arbor, and then loctited it to a steel disk, and turned it all over.

It will out live me, I'm sure.

Cut the dovetails on that base this morning before work.   Now I just have to put in the leadscrew holes, which is always a bit tricky.    I'll set up one of my angle plates for that job.

The other thing missing on the face plate is a very accurately bored hole of probably 0.2500" diameter.   With that I can make any centering pin I would like.

That hole off course needs to be put in with the lathe it will be running in mounted in the spindle it will be running in.   So that part will have to wait.

It's always amazing how light the part is after, and how heavy it was to start!.... :ROFL: :lolb:

Well   The shop vac has to eat too right?

That's usually when I know to empty the shop vac, when it falls over when rolling it across the shop!

13 hour day at work, and I rewarded myself with some shop time.    Dovetails cut, leadscrew mount complete.   Needs scraping, but that's a way off.
