I am amazed that after 1600 views, I am the first person to mention your leaving the chuck key in the chuck. The last video I saw where that happened, the comments went crazy.
Hi George, the back tool post is a G.H.Thomas design, it is detailed in the books 'The Amateurs Workshop' and the 'Myford Series 7 Manual' (both by Ian Bradley), and you can also buy a casting set of a slightly updated design from Hemmingway Kits ( www.hemingwaykits.com/acatalog/Rear_Tool_Post.html#aHK_201070 )
Hi Paul, It was to make the slit wider for extra space for contraction when in the lathe chuck, the hacksaw blade was a bit too thin, and it was quicker to do a second cut than to set it up in the bandsaw
Okay? Why did I just see a guy make a split bushing for a fastener which was too long? In the end, the bushing was placed in a drawer and the fastener was cut short... skip to my version: just hack the extra length off the bolt! See, now that did not require extra time, use of electricity, or wasting a perfectly happy chunk of metal... Oh, I am not a machinist, and in the end the fastener was just cut shorter. My way is faster. ... Unless you know something I do not...
I did this recently to hold a threaded part in a mill, it was a revelation to be able to hold it securely!

sweet,thanks ade.
I like the rear tool post is it a home build or a myford one ? Great video
Thanks, it's a G.H.Thomas design, home made but not by myself
Nice wee video, quick paced and interesting.
I'm intrigued - Why did you close up the first saw cut and then recut it?
Cheers Paul

It's just the way I do it, I prefer precision over time
