The best 'outside the box' machining trick I know is turning between centers - on a horizontal mill with an overarm. Found out I can stick a LOT of tools on the mill table at once 😀
Very nice setup. Do you remember where you found the two-faced indicator??? That is a really good idea. I miss the paint line videos a little but Thank you for this video
Also never forget that most column knee-mills can reach over the table by extending the ram or behind the table by swiveling the entire head to one side or the other.
have done similar thing using separate stand & lathe traveling steady rest to support stationary shaft. spin tools in lathe chuck. even single point threading using boring head. more than one way to skin a cat 😊
Enjoyed thanks for sharing Stan

Where there is a will there is a way. it's good to have you back in the shop. Always learning something good from ya!
Nice setup 👍
That indicator is way cool 😎😎
I never would have come up with that on my own. Thanks for sharing! Hope all is well there.
Very cool! I don't think I'll ever need such a setup but it is good to see how it is done. KOKO!
apparently, most cats, when asked, don't care how you skin em...
Cool approach, Stan.
What is a shaft that long used for? Enjoyed your last job series. Glad to have you back in the shop, too.
Oven blower shaft, always oversized.
That’s one of the coolest steps I’ve ever seen on a lathe, I mean a Bridgeport Mill thank you for sharing
Interesting setup - thanks for sharing
Nice job making use of the tools you have. 🙂
Awesome setup- Thanks Stan!

I got the indicator at the last summer bash swap meet, I was very pleased to get it.

Nice approach!
Great way to adapt and get er done Stan! Bet it feels good to be off the road, and back in the shop!
Nicely done Stan, The cat did wine a bit.
Nice!

nice setup! great way to get it done :)
Did you ever get your shop completely put together the way you wanted it?
Thanks for sharing this very useful tip Stan. That indicator is great, have not seen one like this before. Is there a makers name on it? Cheers Nobby
It's branded Do-All, but also says made in England, it has the feel of a UK gauge.
Are you 100% done with the paint line project?
G'day Stan. Nice job setting up the shaft etc.
My question is ... where did you get the double sided Indicator
Ted
Last year, summer bash swap meet.
Why not flip the chamfer tool and run the boring head clockwise so it doesn't un-screw? I tig welded my arbor to a cheap boring head lol
I could have ground another flat spot in the tool, but, lazy. I knew it was loc-tite bonded, so I just ran with it.
Was indicator/indicol droop a concern?
@@Throughthebulkhead it always is a concern, if your holder droops a known amount (mine does) its easily compensated.
TKS STAN
What, no lube!
