Mill Quill LED Light
awhale:
I recently made one of these, and I have just noticed a topic written in 2013 which discusses making one on similar lines.
If you are interested in making one, check out my YouTube video...

I appreciate that it might be everyones 'cup of tea' - but it works for me.
Cheers

Hello Andrew,
Outstanding idea, now I need to make one for my mill, thanks for sharing.
Have a great day,
Thomas

I think its a great idea, having seen it in the flesh I can say it gives a great uniform spread of light.
Andrew gave me a ring lamp to make my own and it appeared to be too small for my mill so I offered to post it to friend but I've since realised it will fit so now have the task of saying he can't have it as I want to make my own :pinkelephant:

I put one on my Clausing awhile back. It casts a dark shadow directly under the quill..right where the end mill touches the work. Took it off promptly.

I was thinking that very thing. for any reasonably short tool the shadow will be right where you need the light.
