SOME SOUTHBEND ACCESSORIES I HAVE MADE |
A Knurling Tool I made from plans in one of Guy Lautard's Bedside Readers |
A Tailstock Die holder. Altough threading is easy on the S.B., sizes like 2-56 make the die holder handy. |
A spring-loaded wiggler, for centering stock in the 4-jaw. Also from one of Lautard's plans. |
A stop for the cross-slide when threading. Allows re-positioning the cross slide to a starting point, then dial in cut on the compound. I got the idea from a picture in one one of the Southbend accessory catalogs. |
Here is the slide stop installed. The long screw allows setting how far the cross slide can be retracted. The knurled knob locks the dovetailed stop. There is a brass tip in this screw. |
The original dials were incredibly small, so I made larger ones. The original is sitting on the top seft side of the compound, for comparison. |
