First off, I hope everyone is well, if not on the way to recovery with this horrible Virus impacting our world.
It's been a while since my last video. I have been involved with a Training Organisation and had no opportunity for a new project. I did however make this little Lathe Carriage Stop back in January and thought it might be of interest to some.
This is a simple DIY addition for your Mini Lathe. Use it to turn up to an exact repeatable location. I took the measurements directly from my Lathe Carriage ways and created the drawing on Fusion 360. I did make some changes on the run when making the stop. The stop works really well for my set up. I used the milling machine as it is a good learning project as my Mill is a recent addition to my workshop. You can of course use Hack saws, grinders and files to get the same result.
I hope you enjoyed the video and found some useful tips.
Until next time.
Kind Regards
Scott Turner
