    Cool project Mark! You could add a master power switch to be able to turn it on and off. Secondly, you could add another that would allow you to toggle between automatic turn or a foot-pedal turn. Or even better, if you found the right switch, one switch that controls power, auto turn or foot-pedal turn. Good luck, G.

    I built the last version of tool holder which required welding, I have to say it’s an incredible upgrade to anything I have used in the past. Thanks for sharing the plans and awesome product. I’m going to buy a tap wrench from your website as a token of appreciation!

      Thanks, this was really not a good display of my woodworking skills but thanks. I will say, my router table is one of a kind. It has a lift top and the homemade router lift stays in the stand. It makes bit changing super easy. The lift screw is set up so that one turn on the crank is 1/16" inch so depth of cut setup is easy. The only thing i would do different is put off white Formica on the top. The Advantec I used is great but it's hard to see if the table is clean and laying wood on sawdust effect the accuracy.

    Dang, that's slick! I welded short sections of tubing to 5/16" nuts on a crude home made welding positioner that used a variable foot controller. I used my left foot to control the positioner speed and my right foot to control the tig welder, my right hand on the tig torch and a piece of .035 mig wire in my left. I have a Harbor Freight foot control that only provides on and off that might work for your application.

    I think you made a typo on the shop page for the AxA version (I haven't checked the others). The price is listed as $1.30 instead of $130
    Also I don't see a shipping option for Canada. Is shipping available?

    Hi Winky,
    I have the same lathe as you. An old South Bend 27-A. You've done better at restoring yours, so far. I really enjoyed your videos of the restoration.
    Most times when I try parting off, it pulls the cutoff tool under the work and jams. I know I need to replace the gibs to make it more rigid. I have the bronze and just need to do it.
    Were you having the same problem, and your special parting tool was able to fix it?

    • @WinkysWorkshop
      @WinkysWorkshop  11 днів тому

      If you are using a spring cut-off it probably needs to be stiffer My design leaves a nub but seldom goes under. I usually set the tool maybe .010 higher thank center. It's also related to feed rates vs RPM. Ideally a slower feed rate and higher RPM at the end of cut would totally resolve the issue but there is always a compromise.

    • @andrewmassey794
      @andrewmassey794 10 днів тому

      @WinkysWorkshop It's going under without the spring cutoff. I need to make new gibs for it, to try increasing rigidity. I was wondering if the flexibility of the spring cut-off prevents it from digging and going under.

I tried to ship him a ~Yellow Can~ but I was NOT Allowed to have his address, which was NOT a lawful denial.
      When he returned, he went back to his job as a Therapist . . . HE is now Retired, but still at that same Vet Center, helping folks like me . . . [He still serves that Coffee, but bought a bigger ESSPRESSO Machine]
