A few month ago i bust the tool holder on the lathe so as it was doing my ead in with what was left i made a new one. I could of bought one for not much but why when this is the part of the fun and having machines.

 

bit easy really aha

 

machine off the top of the original and as i have some steel plate lying around i made a new top.

Not to the Thou but well happy with it.

 

 

Next project is this to make into a tool grinder. will start this when i have parts sorted and start over christmas.
