Mystery Project - Part 2 

thank you for sharing....Paul in Florida

Well, I had absolutely no clue. I think it's a good idea. More rigid than just putting a bar in the lathe chuck. And that's a cute grinder you have there.

Very nice Dean!

I didn't guess what it was going to be. This is a great project and I am enjoying following along

Your chip brush is with my missing tools that my kids have taken ! Mr crisping has some excellent videos grinding taper spindles and chuck tapers . Kit from down under

Well there you go. For a little bit I was sobering if you were leading us along. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

hi dean Great job, mystery over!! Many people don' t realise the amount of preparatory work sometimes to do a relatively small piece of machining, i have friends who many times say could you JUST whip me this little job out🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Very thorough work Dean atb Kev

Enjoyed Dean…

After indexing in on the chuck OD you might want to also index on the taper bore to ensure it was machined true to the chuck OD. I realize the taper bore is off a bit based on the contact pattern but it might not be truly concentric with the OD.

Well my guess was a fixture plate for your rotary table. I thought you might be mounting your shaper vise onto it with the 4 bolt pattern.

Hi Dean, for a while I was transported from North Yorkshire (UK) to California like I was in there with you thinking yeh but where's my coffee? Setup is the tricky thing on all jobs - which takes the brain work. I remember you getting the toolpost grinder. Your vice looks like my Vevor 6in vice but with a few differences so maybe yours is an original. I will lookout for a toolpost grinder or make/adapt something. I need to grind my chuck jaws sometime. Nice vid. Cheers

9:22, if it is a hair over 1/1,000, wouldn't that add up to about 4/1,000 [.004].....
