That toolpost extension is a great idea. I've seen a similar design speed handle fitted with a neodymium magnet to hold it on. Set screw works well too. Regards, Preso
That came out nice😉 That’s probably the best design I can think of…..user friendly. I like how you used that tool post extension together with the drill jig……Cool and clever set up👍🙂
Nice work as always. For thirsting the circumference you could use a block (wood or metal) under the jaws of the chuck - save the bother of setting up the indexer (but then the video might not be as interesting!). Happy New Year Mark, thanks for all the great videos! Les in UK 🇬🇧
Mark, here's a suggestion for a little project. Make you a handle to replace that nut on the top of the quick change tool post, then you'll have two handles on it. I set mine up that way. I was able to get some thin hardened washers to put under it and their thickness orients where it ends up.
You have some really ingenious setups and the handle turned out really nice. Great job. Who would have ever thought to spin a drill chuck thru a boring bar holder.
I use a 3/4" deep well socket on a 1/2" drive T-handle. Middle position for fast open or close. Slide the handle to either limit for max leverage. Works great.
@@WinkysWorkshop it is harder to spin fast because it will extend one way or the other under centrifugal force but in the middle it doesn't interfere with the Y axis handle on my Bridgeport. Of course the length of the T-handle varies depending on manufacturer and drive size. Mine just happen to be the perfect size for my setup. If interference was an issue a 3/8" drive would likely work since they, typically, have a shorter handle. My handle is quicker and easier to "make" while your's is more elegant and a much better subject for a video 😁. I especially like the knobs. Along with the 3 spoke design it looks alot like most gunsafe handles. I'll be tackling your parting tool design for my next project. I very much appreciate you sharing the plan!
Mark you make it look so easy. Always a pleasure to watch you work AKA do your magic. Thank you for sharing your experience. Have a Happy New Years my Friend
Very interesting work,Mark and very nice handle.I didn´t care for this type of handle that came with the vice so I did fixed it my own way.Happy new year.Thank you for postng.
Great video,need to make one for my vise. I used to buy knobs from McMaster, but found several on thingaverse,and been printing my own.have big arthritic hands so I make them large,and they last well.
I'm new to your channel, and i have to say, I've found some of your ideas, work arounds, and techniques inspirational. I'm going to put your fumming technique to good use on my watchmakers' lathes. Have blessed New Year.
Very neet idea. I made one for my vise. Your toolpost extension is genius. Happy new year. Health, health and health. Anything more, we can either buy it or live whitout it.
8:09 do you keep water in the bucket for your grinder? Or do you find with the rollercoaster ride the dust travels out ends up cooling enough to not burn the plastic bin?
Ha, ha, ha... "It looks like it's either 70 or 110 degrees". Sorry, but it sounds like something I would say. Of course it's off of 180. I think you can buy one of those spider vice handles, but it probably wouldn't have your hex size and I think I had to press a socket into mine even because it was metric. I had mixed emotions about it later. It was too big and the arms should have been shorter and stouter. It might have been the lever for a drill press. It was kinda big and in the way and I had to keep taking it off. I always thought it needed some sort of weighted spinning threaded hub that gives it a "hammer" and then spins and does it again the other direction to open it using a dog pin. You know, like some of those 5c collet closers with the hand wheel. How about a hollow hub filled with lead shot or depleted uranium (whatever you have handy) to make it dead blow. That cries out to be a casting, where's Lyle? Maybe you could use some heavy rods and radius the ends so they could take a mallet blow and not use any knobs. Make them out of 5/8" diameter grade 8 bolts and a 6 point impact socket in the center. Or not.
