HAVE YOU EVER WISHED
YOUR LATHE
HAD A POWER TAILSTOCK FEED DURING
LONG CENTER-DRILLING & REAMING OPERATIONS?
YOU'VE GOT IT! -- Here's how:
Tool uses a shaft collar with an I.D.
the same size as your tailstock spindle.
& a plate with a fork-like cut out.
The notched fork is mounted in place of
a tool holder on your compound slide.
Engage the fork on
the shaft collar, and
loosen the tailstock clamp so it will just
slide. Now your power longitudinal feed
will move your tailstock.
Simply crank back cross slide to disengage.
As a manufacturer of cnc shape cutting machines and flame
cutting machines, we try wherever possible to use thermal cutting
processes in place of traditional machine work and mechanical
cutting. However, as this is not always possible, we have over time
developed a number of methods for performing metal fabrication
and machine work in the shortest possible time. These pages are
intended to share these tips with metal fabrication shops, street
rod chassis builders, welding businesses and others for whatever
they are worth.
