I have been advised by several digitalhobbyist forum members to place all relevant drawing information?in reference to the swinging tool holder in the digitalhobbyist files section.? This is what I will do in pdf format during this week. I do not want to share information with the 7 x mini lathe forum, but any serious 7 x mini lathe forum members are very welcome to join my group and hopefully they will gain more knowledge with a range of posts and hashtags covering most subjects that fit our particular?criteria and hobbies. Naturally all new member postings will need to be moderated a few times, no different to any other hundreds?of internet forums. But this was why I created the digitalhobbyist to allow access and share knowledge in this new digital age we are living in, and by sharing ideas and thoughts of some of the same "centuries" old questions, "how do we make the manufacturing?of support tooling etc etc in our tool sheds using basic?tools? "? My swinging tool holder was based on the use of a 250-100 QCTP, so naturally a scaling?down for users of a 250-000 will be required on the dovetail block area and or scaling up or altering to suit each? user's choice of toolpost. I do not use a compound slide, but those that do then it should not affect the design. So back to the "drawing board" as they say, and now I am finishing off the tool holder dimensioning details making it an easy and fun tool to make for digitalhobbyist forum members. As a footnote the?swinging toolholder principle is not a new idea, I was?using them on Alfred Herbert capstan lathes and their?very ingenious automatic die heads back in 1970?s.? Stay well and mostly be happy in your hobbies and interests. John On Tue, 6 Apr 2021 at 05:51, John Lindo <bechetboat@...> wrote:
