You say no one will be making one, but what entertainment watching "the messiah" of machining at work, you Sir are indeed an esteemed character and gentleman of which they no longer manufacture. Love your video's and your workmanship and indeed your passion and love of metal working is addictive. Hope to see your work for decades to come, its an elixir to the soul.
Mr Pete, you may think no one is going to build this but I think you would be amazed at how many of us will do it ( or at least try ) . I just have to finish my coffee an head out to the shop. It will be so nice not to have to set up my magnetic base every time . Thanks so much . Great video.
You will be surprised to know that I have just re-watched this video because I am about to make a dovetail adapter for my quick change toolpost. Thanks for your videos. They are invaluable for us home taught, would be, machinists.
Mr Pete you've earned another sub sir. I truly enjoy listening to you teaching, I'm 42 and just getting into turning and milling and I'm learning so much valuable information and having one heck of a fun time doing it. This will be on my project list for sure! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all these wonderful videos I get to watch now!
I will absolutely be making one of these. In the Air Force (at Tech School), we are required to center our tailstock everyday before we begin machining. Thanks!
I've watched this video several times because i fully intend to make one of these once i get the tools to do so. The bonus is, i can make this ahead of time before i ever invest in a quick change tool post and leave some extra metal on the side to fit into my regular 4 tool post. Then when i finally save up to get a QCTP i can cut the extra off, add the dovetail, and be rocking and rolling again.
Love all your videos, often you say no one will make one. I think you’d really be surprised how many people make your projects. I’m purely just a tinkerer and I’ve made many of you projects.
Thanks Mr. Pete for another great video. Very informative with some good humor thrown in for free. We have been so lucky to have you helping us with all of your knowledge for all these years. Your students were also lucky to have you also. In my six weeks of machine shop class in my freshman year of high school, we learned how to hammer a piece of sheet metal into a mold with a ball peen hammer to make an ash tray. He didn't even turn on the lathe or the mill one time. For six weeks I continuously thought of him as one sorry ass instructor. Useless. And many people wonder why we are almost last on every list in the country here in Louisiana. I always envied your students from the first time I watched one of your videos. Once again, thank you Mr. Pete. Dan
Thanks Mr Pete. Maybe Scotland is no longer in Christendom but I made one too. Brilliant when setting up with the four jaw chuck. An absolute joy to use compared with magnetic arms etc.
I’ve only been machining since I was 15, oh, about 53 years now, though not as a profession, though professionally, at times, if you know what I mean, and I never thought of making one of these. Since I’ve designed machines, and built prototypes, I can’t think of why. But this just shows why these You Tube videos are so useful, no matter how much you know. Pete, thanks for this very useful accessory.
Like many others here mr.pete I am enjoying learning from you, even though I am retired and getting my machines soon. You have helped me understand many of the machinist ways so to speak. Looking forward to participating.
8:08 "...it's never fun cutting off on the bandsaw" Said by *NOBODY* who had spent the first 45 years of his life having to hacksaw stock off when not in someone else's shop! Believe me, I am freakin' grateful every time I fire up my clapped-out old hand-me-down down bandsaw. And I I think a lot of us are pretty grateful when we see notification of another one of these videos pop up, too. Happy Christmas everyone!
Doug White Thank you for taking the time to make these videos they are very interesting I have watch many I am 80 year old and enjoy being in my shop keep up the good work .
Mr. Peterson loses it......... ".....strike an arc........ of the Covenant...." LOL. Great stuff Mr. Peterson. Keeps the boys in the back of the class awake and aware!
Wonderful video. If I'd had you as my shop teacher I wouldn't have had to wait so long to fall in love with metal working! All we did was wood, even though the lathe and mill were there, collecting a nice layer of sawdust. I didn't go through all of the comments so I apologize if someone else discussed this. I'm positive that YOU know and likely most other folks know, but for the youngsters watching that DON'T know, the reason that the small brass insert is at the tip of that setscrew is so that it doesn't damage the shaft or race of whatever it is being set against, because brass is likely softer. I'd love to have a handful of those because they're not as cheap as they used to be. (Is anything?) Thanks for the great lesson, sir!
Thank you, I'm glad you like my videos. And even more happy that you fell in love with metal working. Sometimes shop teacher or for that matter a regular teacher. Is Forced to teach classes that he knows nothing about or has no interest in. That is unfortunate for the students and the teacher
Roughly 2.5 years after you posted this video, I'll be making at least one of these later today. Thanks for posting, I appreciate every video you upload.
9:00 Hey Lyle, I call that the "old guy rule" when teaching the juniors: Do the hard part first and finish on the easy part of the job, if it will allow it. Too many times I have seen the easy work get completed and the final touches are the most difficult operation to do, and now, I just don't have the patience to do it any other way. Thanks for the video and have a nice Christmas , new years etc.. Cheers!
Nive looking project, now if I just had a milling machine and a lathe to put it on I'd make on. Just kidding, I always enjoy your project videos and selected this one out of your older ones.
As usual great instruction, and as it happens I'm 3D printing one for a friend at this moment, although it's to his own design as we have Dixon type toolholders which are more complex with a large "T" slot with a "V" slot either side, a bit trickier to machine, so 3D printing is by far the easiest route for a DTI holder. Have a great Christmas.
It's a British design and if you are curious can be found here www.lathes.co.uk/latheparts/page13.html . I think maybe more people build the stuff you teach more than you think. Last week I made your cutting oil can, but used a sweet (candy?) tin instead of the chicken tin you used :-) I have learned a great deal from your video's. Many thanks, Keep em coming and have a happy Christmas.
I am definitely going to build one or more. Because of you and your excellent instructions I have built or attempted to build many tools. I wish I could send you pictures to show you what I have accomplished because of your videos.
AXA is universal (size) of tool post for small to mid side lathes. There is also BXA which it the next size larger for bigger lathes. Google "AXA tool post" for more detailed information.
I'm thinking you made a bad bet about no one making this project. Just got my mill yesterday so it will take me a couple of weeks to get it setup but this is one of the projects I intend to make. I agree magnetic bases on smaller lathes become an issue and my 11" lathe really doesn't offer a lot of places to stick the magnetic base so I end up working it off of the cross slide which puts my base on the backside of the work and is a hassle. I'm also considering making a block with a dovetail that I can thread and mount my indicator arm off of so I have the ability to articulate a test indicator around but I'm not sure if it would be worth it yet because that places the arm kind of in the way when it's on the front side rather than just using a mag base on the cross slide and reaching over.
Good morning Mr. Pete, you have a good hand for layouts with dykem, it's very clean. Who actually invented the dovetail type tool holders? We were told that they are "KDK holders"... Probably a Swiss acronym.
Another great video. Wondering if you would consider doing one on face mills for bridgeport type mills, or maybe you covered it somewhere and can point me to it. I see you using them all the time, but when looking at all the different choices, cutter angles. and insert styles I don't know what would be best for general use facing. Thank you again for all of your work putting these videos up. Over the last 5 years my garage and basement are now full of metal working equipment. I blame you and Fenner for most all of it!...... Lol
Another great video Mr Pete I'm actually in the process of making some quick change holders an indicator holder is one I'd like to do as well keep them coming
Thanks for this idea.I've ordered the stock along with a dovetail cutter, and will make a variation of this for my Boxford lathe, which has a slightly different Quick change post. So at least one person will make this, thanks again, Dave
I'm going to make MORE THAN ONE! Thanks again... P.S. I am a novice... how do you set the radius on a fly cutter??? I would do it by the "trial & error" method, but I know there has to be a better way. Did you cover this topic on another video?
I would recommend putting your models on shapeways, that way people without their own printers can pay to have one printed, and you can even put the price up a bit and collect a little commission on each print.
Another great video. I also found that the tail stock alignment tool at the end of the video serves my needs perfectly and ordered one. Thanks ..........
Mr Pete, I hope you are making money out of RUclipss ads. Now the last time I watered the snake, it told me that I was a male sapiens. So why would I need to have a pantie liner as per the adv targeted at myself. And this useful add-on item to one's underwear was drooled over by two nice African ladies.
[plate clamped onto workpiece to provide centre for dividers] "I know you're thinking I lost it....I bet you're thinking that" Actually, no. I was thinking "Genius idea!" +1 for I'll be making one of these too. Not sure if I'll do an exact copy, might look at changing it so it mounts onto the indicator in place of the backplate with the lug - not sure yet. Was waiting for the video that covered the dovetail part of things - have seen the theory before but there's nothing like a dry-run to make sure you understand! Thanks for that. What speed are you running that fly-cutter at? Mine starts to wobble soon after 800rpm. It looks like you're much faster than this but it could be just the video - not sure if yours is just better balanced or it's just that your mill is [much] sturdier than mine.
To be honest, I like the Aluminum version better... The printed version might work as well, but the machined version was more fun to watch you make! ;)
Very good and a lot better than my crude version. Love watching your videos, I always learn something. I guess you can teach an old dogs new tricks. Thank you again.
Arc of the covenant. lol I love your sense of humor. - Followed every bit of it. - You could have used your fly cutter to add some relief for the blue dial ring. - You will be surprised how many people make those. I see the chicken can oiler cans everywhere. - May you and yours have a HAPPY Christmas, and a MERRY New Year, but don't get too MERRY!
Hello, Lyle - A video recommendation. Suppose you had put the screw in the wrong place. How would you fix it? In wood I drill and glue a dowel. What does Tubalcain do? Great project! Thanks for it, and season’s cheer.
Don't know if you still answer comments on this video but if you do I would like the part number for the indicator that was used. I looked on all the videos but can't find the number but it may be my poor reading skills. Thank you and have a great day.
I can really use a holder like this so after your first video I went and ordered an indicator. Problem is I mistakenly ordered the indicator without the lug mount. I will have to come up with a different design that will hold the indicator by the stem or order another indicator.
If you're interested in doing it, I wouldn't mind seeing you cast an aluminum version of this (or something similar) in the "lost wax" style, using the 3D printed part like a wax original. I always enjoy your build videos--thank you!
I hate that I have to wait till summer to build a few of these as my SB Lathe is in my poll building and even though I have a wood burner out there it still gets mighty cold!!! lol Great video mrpete you always make it look so easy - yes I am a grown 50 + yr old man (That made me laugh) I STILL had to watch how you did your lay out lines for the dial two more times to fully understand how you did it Haha as always two Thumbs Sir!!!!!
Fun project to watch, but only if you have a lot of time on your hands. Nothing this tool does that couldn't be done with a magnetic base indicator, which would allow you to have your cutting tool undisturbed in the holder. Also, after all that nice precision work, you attach the indicator with a screw from an erector set.
A good trick for ensuring fit on 3d printed parts is to print test cubes in an aray of sizes. Measure in X, Y, and Z of each cube. Graph the %distortion vs. Size for each axis. Now you can input the rough dims of 3d printed object and scale to have tight tolerance.
Thank you. In fact that is one of the first things I did, was to print a 25 mm cube. I was shocked, I mean absolutely shocked at how accurate the cube was
mrpete222 my 1cm cube was dead on, but my 1in was off +0.0036". Error factor increases with size. I think cura scales for pla shrink, but not sure. I can now get 0.0000" tolerance so I am pretty happy.
All well and good when you have a 3D printer and the time to learn programing etc. However I'm a poor but well equipped machinist who is capable. Lets get on with the show.
You say no one will be making one, but what entertainment watching "the messiah" of machining at work, you Sir are indeed an esteemed character and gentleman of which they no longer manufacture. Love your video's and your workmanship and indeed your passion and love of metal working is addictive. Hope to see your work for decades to come, its an elixir to the soul.
Thank you very much. You have a way with words
Mr Pete, you may think no one is going to build this but I think you would be amazed at how many of us will do it ( or at least try ) . I just have to finish my coffee an head out to the shop. It will be so nice not to have to set up my magnetic base every time . Thanks so much . Great video.
If you were correct on that, it pleases me very much
I'll be printing one. I have a couple printers, but no mill yet.
I hate setting up the magnetic indicator on my little 7x10. I will be making one as well. Thanks!
Love it, that is definitely on my list of milling time make projects, thank you so much for sharing :D
I will have to agree with Mr. C As soon as I can get my shop built it’s on the to do list. Again thanks for your great videos.
You will be surprised to know that I have just re-watched this video because I am about to make a dovetail adapter for my quick change toolpost.
Thanks for your videos.

you may think no kid will watch these videos im 17 and i am learning to be a machinist and im in highschool and your videos have helped so much
Thank you so much for watching. I’m glad a few high school kids are watching my videos, tell your friends

You're right, it sure beats the heck out of a hand hacksaw. I guess what I meant by that, is that it is a very long boring job Sawing metal

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you like the videos
Mr. Peterson loses it......... ".....strike an arc........ of the Covenant...." LOL. Great stuff Mr. Peterson. Keeps the boys in the back of the class awake and aware!
There was no keeping them awake
Man I'm glad I found you and have taken the time to view your projects...You HELP and Guideness sure is refreshing...Thx

Yes, the hard part first, then you can coast
Yep, always paint the front of the house last.
You are very sharp mrpete on calculating dimensions!
👍👍
Who says you can not teach an old dog new tricks? Excellent use of product placement!
I like that you show your mistakes. Such an important part of learning and says a lot about you as a person!
Yes, I sometimes make a mistake. But of course not very often
Don't sell yourself short Mr. Pete, I will be making one for myself. I appreciate all your videos, you've taught me more than you know. Thank you!
Thank you so much
It makes alot of sense to me as a 40 year retired machinist.
Nive looking project, now if I just had a milling machine and a lathe to put it on I'd make on. Just kidding, I always enjoy your project videos and selected this one out of your older ones.
I enjoy all of your videos! Thank you for continuing to do them.

"You're all grown men."
I beg your pardon! ;-)
I might get older but I refuse to grow up lol
I actually built two of them. One AXA and one for my 6" atlas lathe. Good stuff!
what is AXA ?
AXA is universal (size) of tool post for small to mid side lathes. There is also BXA which it the next size larger for bigger lathes. Google "AXA tool post" for more detailed information.
@@FredMiller there's also an oxa (or is it 0xa?) which is even smaller, good for those mini lathes
Another great video, thanks for sharing. I'll be sure to use that "reinforced learning" gag when people tell me I'm repeating myself.
This is a quite interesting build. Thanks for sharing this, Professor. Very useful.
Always a great start the weekend, thanks Mr. Pete! That holder came out great and I'm liking Randy's dovetail cutter!
I'm glad you liked it
Send me and email RRINTHESHOP@GMAIL.COM.
You should make one for a lantern tool post that was some great work you have done there mr.pete that is for sharing your knowledge
I had considered that
Just as soon as I muster up some stock, I will be building one for a BXA tool post. Thanks Lyle! Another great video.
I'm glad you liked it

Thanks again Mr Pete. I took the liberty to share your video on You Tube Machinist on facebook. I love the creativity. Terry
Thank you, I'm glad you shared it
Good morning Mr. Pete, you have a good hand for layouts with dykem, it's very clean.
Who actually invented the dovetail type tool holders?
We were told that they are "KDK holders"... Probably a Swiss acronym.
Another great video. Wondering if you would consider doing one on face mills for bridgeport type mills, or maybe you covered it somewhere and can point me to it. I see you using them all the time, but when looking at all the different choices, cutter angles. and insert styles I don't know what would be best for general use facing. Thank you again for all of your work putting these videos up. Over the last 5 years my garage and basement are now full of metal working equipment. I blame you and Fenner for most all of it!......

Never thought of doing that, I'm not sure there is much to cover. As they are available and all the catalogs
Another great video Mr Pete I'm actually in the process of making some quick change holders an indicator holder is one I'd like to do as well keep them coming
Thanks for watching
"Since she left me
I've been inhaling
Bottles of whiskey
And my memory's failing"
There's the chorus to your country song, Mr. Pete.
Thanks, you gave me a nice laugh
Thanks for this idea.I've ordered the stock along with a dovetail cutter, and will make a variation of this for my Boxford lathe, which has a slightly different Quick change post. So at least one person will make this, thanks again, Dave
Yes
Added making an aluminium version to the top of my “to do list”. 👏👏👍😀
I'm going to make MORE THAN ONE! Thanks again...
P.S. I am a novice... how do you set the radius on a fly cutter??? I would do it by the "trial & error" method, but I know there has to be a better way. Did you cover this topic on another video?
Can we all give Tublacain a present? He’s just awesome!
Thank you very much
These jigs are a gig of another gig YOUR AMAZING LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Very nice. Thanks for (wisely) disabling the audio as the mill works. It makes the video more pleasant.
Yes
I would recommend putting your models on shapeways, that way people without their own printers can pay to have one printed, and you can even put the price up a bit and collect a little commission on each print.
Another great video. I also found that the tail stock alignment tool at the end of the video serves my needs perfectly and ordered one. Thanks ..........
Awesome, tell him I sent you
Great design, cant believe I havent seen this video before. Love the aluminum version
Thanks so much. Always look forward to your humor and skills.
I'm glad you like my videos
Mr Pete, I hope you are making money out of RUclipss ads. Now the last time I watered the snake, it told me that I was a male sapiens. So why would I need to have a pantie liner as per the adv targeted at myself. And this useful add-on item to one's underwear was drooled over by two nice African ladies.
Thanks for sharing. looks great and awesome project. I have a 3D printer but I’ll try to make an aluminum one. For my mini lathe.
Nice job ! Now I got to make one. My old system is now outdated. Thanks again Mr. Pete.
Yes, make one. Start today
Superb Mr Pete! Thank you
[plate clamped onto workpiece to provide centre for dividers] "I know you're thinking I lost it....I bet you're thinking that"
Actually, no. I was thinking "Genius idea!"
+1 for I'll be making one of these too. Not sure if I'll do an exact copy, might look at changing it so it mounts onto the indicator in place of the backplate with the lug - not sure yet.
Was waiting for the video that covered the dovetail part of things - have seen the theory before but there's nothing like a dry-run to make sure you understand! Thanks for that.

I am running out at 800, but Randy said he runs his at about 1200. And I often make a dry run, but I call it a rehearsal
To be honest, I like the Aluminum version better... The printed version might work as well, but the machined version was more fun to watch you make! ;)
Very good and a lot better than my crude version.

Another nice little project, so well explained and executed. Thanks again. Ted.
Thank you
Great project from start to finish. Merry Christmas, Mr. Pete.
Thanks for watching
Nice indicator holder. I am sure some people will copy that one.
I hope to do
Priceless. On my list to do. 🙏🏽
As always, thanks for the video. You have away of talking/teaching that is interesting and entertaining. Keep the videos coming! JB from San Diego
Thank you very much, keep watching
Dennis W Schoessow
Well I'm going to make this! I'm a newbie, so this is a great practice project and something I can use. Thanks Mr Pete
Yes, give it a try
Hello, Lyle - A video recommendation. Suppose you had put the screw in the wrong place. How would you fix it? In wood I drill and glue a dowel. What does Tubalcain do? Great project! Thanks for it, and season’s cheer.
You simply do not put the screw in the wrong place
This is a wonderfull video with so much info.Thank you.
Thanks
Mr Pete, you are the best.
Fantastic, love all your videos and I for one will be making one or two lol. Keep up the good work shop teacher!
Thank you for watching
Just made one out of a block of Delrin :)
Don't know if you still answer comments on this video but if you do I would like the part number for the indicator that was used. I looked on all the videos but can't find the number but it may be my poor reading skills. Thank you and have a great day.
So neat. This project just keeps getting better!
I'm glad you liked it
I'm starting mine today - July 25, 2020. Thanks Mr. Pete!
👍👍
I have a 9x20 lathe and getting a dial indicator to work on a stand is darn near impossible. I will definitely be adding this to my collection.
I'm glad you understand why I made the thing
Thanks for the prompt, I’ll be making one got a load of blanks made for my tool post waiting for tools to be fitted to them
Awesome
Wonderful, love that you show the mishaps !!!
Great video - very well done.
Thank you
Cutting the dovetail would have also been a brilliant project to do on the shaper!
Yes it would, but would take 10 times longer
I can really use a holder like this so after your first video I went and ordered an indicator. Problem is I mistakenly ordered the indicator without the lug mount. I will have to come up with a different design that will hold the indicator by the stem or order another indicator.
Just order another indicator, they are cheap enough. I am stuck with that one that I showed in the video without a lug as well
Nice! awesome belt sander!!! I seen it demonstrated live. I was there at arnfest 2017.
That's great, so you met Palmer, he's quite a guy
Yes!!!
Thanks Mr Pete
If you're interested in doing it, I wouldn't mind seeing you cast an aluminum version of this (or something similar) in the "lost wax" style, using the 3D printed part like a wax original. I always enjoy your build videos--thank you!
Sorry, I haven't had much luck with lost wax. You might have to give it a try yourself
I hate that I have to wait till summer to build a few of these as my SB Lathe is in my poll building and even though I have a wood burner out there it still gets mighty cold!!! lol Great video mrpete you always make it look so easy - yes I am a grown 50 + yr old man (That made me laugh) I STILL had to watch how you did your lay out lines for the dial two more times to fully understand how you did it Haha
as always two Thumbs Sir!!!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it
Nice work Lyle👍
Interesting project with interesting solutions. Thanks, Lyle.
I really like how you think, and the information you give is great. Thanks gary
Thank you very much
Fun project to watch, but only if you have a lot of time on your hands. Nothing this tool does that couldn't be done with a magnetic base indicator, which would allow you to have your cutting tool undisturbed in the holder. Also, after all that nice precision work, you attach the indicator with a screw from an erector set.
Thank you Mr.Peterson. Loved the lesson.
Thank you for watching
Thanks Mr. Pete, another fun and informative video.
Thank you for watching
Iike this one super fine job 😊😊
A good trick for ensuring fit on 3d printed parts is to print test cubes in an aray of sizes. Measure in X, Y, and Z of each cube. Graph the %distortion vs. Size for each axis. Now you can input the rough dims of 3d printed object and scale to have tight tolerance.
Thank you. In fact that is one of the first things I did, was to print a 25 mm cube. I was shocked, I mean absolutely shocked at how accurate the cube was
mrpete222 my 1cm cube was dead on, but my 1in was off +0.0036". Error factor increases with size. I think cura scales for pla shrink, but not sure. I can now get 0.0000" tolerance so I am pretty happy.
Beautifully made !! Master Pete is there a video where you make a T-slot table ?
Cheers Mr Pete another instructive video
Thank you for the great video.. I'll be starting my holder this weekend.
Great, I think it was a neat project
Great video! Wish you a Merry Christmas!
Thank you
All well and good when you have a 3D printer and the time to learn programing etc. However I'm a poor but well equipped machinist who is capable. Lets get on with the show.
great project build , Enjoyed !
Thank you
