I should have got one years ago instead of struggling with my Eclipes holders, these are great but not on my machines, thank you for watching the video.
Only come across your channel and this is fascinating. your Boxford reminds me of school there was something about the drive that had a distinct sound. looking forward to part two now. thanks for taking time to make and upload.
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge. BTW I had to dissamble and polish away the rough machining marks on the dial indicator holder internal force locking surfaces. This finishing work made the indicator holder much nicer to use. Cheers-Peter
Mine fortunately was ok, just needed a split bush for my indicators which are quit old now, need to invest in some new ones which should fit without the split bush, thanks foe watching the video.
Brilliant Harold thanks for taking the time to share, I've always wondered how the best way was to form the cutting edges, never thought of drilling the holes first and plugging them.
@@samrodian919 thank you, glad you found it interesting, I try and keep a variety of subjects which provides a bit more interest to viewers, thanks for watching the video.
I'm curious if there are rules of thumb for the diameter of the pitch circle, or the diameter of the holes for the cutting flutes compared to the diameter of the shaft you were trying to thread. It seems like it would be easy to get a 2 sharp a cutting lip that too fragile.
Great video Harold, just a quick question regarding your Boxford is the traverse handwheel dial a factory fitting or is it something you have contrived ?
Its a mod I did some years ago not a factory add on because on my previous lathe it had a graduated dial which I found to be an asset, so I just graduated it with the dividing head and it works a treat, thanks for watching the video.
Interesting use of the scribing block to dial in the gauge block. Thank you for putting the video together and passing this onto the rest of us.
Used a scribing block like this for years, also for truing up cylindrical diameters instead of a clock, thanks for watching the video.
Those Noga style mag bases really are versatile, picked mine up when I retired after a lifetime of using and adapting Eclipse ones !

Harold another great video, keep them coming.
Thanks again John for watching the the video ,look out for the second part, had to split it as it was getting a bit too long.

I like the pin idea as I was wondering about the interrupted cut.
No problems with the drilling and tapping, when the pins are removed the thread is ok, thanks for watching the video.

Thanks for watching the video, glad its of interest to you, watch out for the second part where I harden and temper.
A very interesting video. Thank you sir! I've only just found your channel and subscribed immediately within two minutes of it starting!

The Basics still rule.
Defiantly, so true basic ideas never fail, thanks for watching the video.
