As always, a nice video showing the work of a craftsman. Who hasn't cut the wrong half, drilling through the entire piece instead of making a blind hole.....? I see it as a reminder to lower the nose... Looking forward to see how and when it's used.
Keep an eye out for Postman Pat, there may be some Sherwood countersinks coming your way (I needed some more bits to make free shipping anyway). I'll post them in a couple of days.
Ciao Ades, this is Alberto from AB-SHOP Italy, i have started to watch your channel and your projects !! Very interesting jobs Ades, i have something from your country in my Workshop that i use for my videos, it's a Colchester Bantam Mk1 Lathe, in wonderful conditions, it's a fantastic lathe!! A big Ciao from Italy, Alberto.
I made one of those but i changed it a bit and while experimenting made the body from nylon to test the changes. I incorporated a fine feed which tirned out quite nice and seems a little novel in design. I should explain since second retirement my hobby seems to be trying to make the "perfect" dti holder and since that is an unachievable aim i will never run out of things to make.😅 Edit PS nylon actually works, although meant as temporary, being stiffer the the dti stylus spring. Edit 2 like you i try to use one size collet as much as possible and have settled on 20mm, so i had to enlarge Stefan's plans hence the trials with nylon.
Functionally equivalent to Stefan's design should be your trademark for this one. The end result is what matters. Also you missed an opportunity to use the Alexander 2CG to make a dovetail cutter :-)
Hi Ade. If you run out of room under the spindle you could try my simple 20mm high low profile holder that simply clicks onto the spindle. If you are interested, search for - 20mm high DTI holder with 200mm extended range. Hope you like it, there are other variants on the channel.
