Some kind of a wind mill then?

Re: A Couple of Weeks in the Shop
So, the sanding disk was used only for orientation for the round bottom holes in the collar. The saw blade arbor was just that; an arbor. The arbor was to hold the collar to put the holes in the collar. The use of the laser for alignment was clever.
In "my world" the same operation could be achieved (easier and more accurate) with a 5C collet indexer, and an arbor to hold the collar, and drill with a vertical mill (Bridgeport or drill press). Or, on my Okuma LB3000 with live tooling and C axis (accurate within +/- 1 second of a degree of rotation). But, I suppose I'm bragging just a bit. You got to have the toys if you want to play.
I haven't figured out what the collar itself is for though, yet.

Re: A Couple of Weeks in the Shop
That came out real slick, Red! I bought the Shopsmith version (with magnets and lateral locating pin") recently, and I think I'd like your version better. It's just an easier, one-handed operation to index it to a different position.

Re: A Couple of Weeks in the Shop
Ah, but I was thinking of old-fashioned mechanical turret lathes with radially-oriented end-working tool stations, not CNC lathes. Like this:pcd7326 wrote:BuckeyeDennis wrote:Hypothesis #1: You've gone off the deep end, and you're going to convert your Shopsmith into a woodworking turret lathe.

Mine have 10 & 12 stations.
Re: A Couple of Weeks in the Shop
Much like with a woman; I never assume what someone is thinking. I was stating what my lathes are.BuckeyeDennis wrote:Ah, but I was thinking of old-fashioned mechanical turret lathes with radially-oriented end-working tool stations, not CNC lathes.
And yes, I know what a "traditional" or "antique" turret lathe is. I am very familiar with a Warner & Swasey #4 turret lathe, to be exact.

Re: A Couple of Weeks in the Shop
Don't feel too bad Dennis.
In a PM he referred to "engine lathe".
Yes Dennis it is more like the original but has 9 more stops.
FWIW I do think in terms of "engine lathe'.(60 yr old experiences)

If you want, I will start it and in the process reveal your contribution to solve what was to me a dead end.
I hesitate to start it now since I have done zilch towards making the detent thingy.
BTW "it" is beautiful(for a chunk of steel).
