The adjustable stop was one more tool in my list of projects. I’m sure that most of you know the use of this tool. For those of you that don't, the purpose of the adjustable stop is to provide a repeatable position for the workpiece, or workpieces as well as to support the back of very thin parts while they are held in the three or four jaw chuck.
As for the extended lock nut, it’s nothing more than a simple way of directing chips outside the spindle passing them through the change gear cover; so, no more chips in the gears and of course in the driving belts!
Both adjustable stop and extended lock nut designs were copied from toolsandmods.com. Although the initial design of the adjustable stop remained the same (there is a reason for that), you will see that it shares features from another design found at Harold Hall's web pages; but this is explained in detail in the video.
I'll hope you find this video interesting.
All the best
Jimmy

Nicely done, this will be a real practical item to do repeats or multiples... ;) Cheers, Pierre

Thanks Pierre! I really appreciate the opinion, of an expert machinist like you!! It is very practical for identical size parts, but can be a great support for machining very thin parts. Regards from Greece Jimmy

Excellent, thanks for sharing, can I suggest, request you show the finished part at the beginning, that way when you see the part being made, you have context on how it’s going to be. Cheers

@JimmysCanal 5 лет назад

Thank you very much for the comment, I appreciate it! And thanks for the suggestion, you are not the first that saying this. From now on I'll showing at the begining the finished part or tool, so everyone could see and follow the way of making. Thanks again for your comment, sir! Warm regards from Greece Dimitris (AKA Jimmy)

As a second chuck stop i build the system from Rob Renz and Stefan Gotteswinter both on RU-vid which is made for little parts hold before the chuck between the Jaws and they are very precise you dial them in and have then a very good repeatability 👍 this system here you build is more for regular and bigger sized parts but is also very good...they both fit together perfectly... Good work as were used from you 😊

@JimmysCanal 5 лет назад

I have seen Robrenz's chuck stops; extremly precise and beautifully made! Unfortunately my lathe is very limited at tooling options, plus that I don't have a milling machine that it could help me on making specific tools or any other aid for my lathe. Anyway, the chuck stop I've made can support small diameter as well as thin parts, but has limitations of course!! Thanks, glad that you like it! All the best Jimmy

@@JimmysCanal ive send you a short mail over the lazymachinist page because i couldn't find the email on RU-vid. When i made the chuck stop i made double the pieces to send it to a friend without mill now he has one but not the time to build everything he would like so when i made the 35mm screwless vice i made two and send him one. He made a ball turning fixture last year and send me one of them. So when you have milling jobs that are important to you its no problem i can mill them and then send you. This evening i started working on a centering mikroskop like Stefan Gotteswinter on RU-vid build a prototype..(in english) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-df8MnaDCIHo.html Very challenging because im no expert at optics but i hope i get a solution... Before i got a mill i used to take a 90° angle plate which i clamped on the support then clamped a little vice to it which I could clamp at the height i wanted and a 12mm or 16mm HSSE end mill into the 3 jaw chuck... brought very satisfying results.. You can also buy a milling fixture but they are quite expensive and it's the same as the way i died it...for milling a slot keyway or little parts its perfect..

Nice... at 0.48 the caption says the spindle thread is M27x1mm.... my C2 mini lathe is 1.5mm according to the manual.

@JimmysCanal 4 года назад

Thank you very much for the comment, I appreciate it! Yes thats correct, the spindle thread of my mini lathe is M27x1mm. The C2 mini lathe it's a whole different lathe than mine, so having different spindle thread doesn't seems stranges, I think. All the best Jimmy

@TheAmazingPlankton 5 лет назад

Nice Video, is it The original Motor on the Lathe? He stop, extremly quick?

@JimmysCanal 5 лет назад

Thank you very much for the comment! Yes, the lathe have the original motor (DC 220V 600W/5600rpm). Although the sticker on the motor says Optimum, I'm sure that is made in China, but it is a quality one anyway. I'm not the expert here, but I think that it stops so quickly because of the electronic controler? All the best Jimmy

Nice work! If you want more views, you can embed your video on our homemade tools forum; looks like you're one of us - www.homemadetools.net/forum/

@JimmysCanal 5 лет назад

I apologize for the delayed reply. Thank you very much! Your comment and invitation honor me, sir. I found your forum a few months ago while searching information-ideas for an upcoming project; you have done great job making this site!! It is nice to be a part of a community; I've registered and hope soon to start sharing my projects with all of you. I said soon, because english language is a bit of barrier for me. Thanks again, sir! Warm regards from Greece Dimitris (AKA Jimmy)
