Easy and fast acting Simple Indexing on a Metal Lathe: • Simple Indexing on a M... Tool Post Drill - Easy to Build and Versatile : • Tool Post Drill - Easy...
Mark, here's a suggestion for a little project. Make you a handle to replace that nut on the top of the quick change tool post, then you'll have two handles on it. I set mine up that way. I was able to get some thin hardened washers to put under it and their thickness orients where it ends up.
That toolpost extension is a great idea. I've seen a similar design speed handle fitted with a neodymium magnet to hold it on. Set screw works well too. Regards, Preso
That came out nice😉 That’s probably the best design I can think of…..user friendly. I like how you used that tool post extension together with the drill jig……Cool and clever set up👍🙂
Nice work as always. For thirsting the circumference you could use a block (wood or metal) under the jaws of the chuck - save the bother of setting up the indexer (but then the video might not be as interesting!). Happy New Year Mark, thanks for all the great videos! Les in UK 🇬🇧
You have some really ingenious setups and the handle turned out really nice. Great job. Who would have ever thought to spin a drill chuck thru a boring bar holder.
Great video,need to make one for my vise. I used to buy knobs from McMaster, but found several on thingaverse,and been printing my own.have big arthritic hands so I make them large,and they last well.
I use a 3/4" deep well socket on a 1/2" drive T-handle. Middle position for fast open or close. Slide the handle to either limit for max leverage. Works great.
@@WinkysWorkshop it is harder to spin fast because it will extend one way or the other under centrifugal force but in the middle it doesn't interfere with the Y axis handle on my Bridgeport. Of course the length of the T-handle varies depending on manufacturer and drive size. Mine just happen to be the perfect size for my setup. If interference was an issue a 3/8" drive would likely work since they, typically, have a shorter handle. My handle is quicker and easier to "make" while your's is more elegant and a much better subject for a video 😁. I especially like the knobs. Along with the 3 spoke design it looks alot like most gunsafe handles. I'll be tackling your parting tool design for my next project. I very much appreciate you sharing the plan!
Mark you make it look so easy. Always a pleasure to watch you work AKA do your magic. Thank you for sharing your experience. Have a Happy New Years my Friend
Very neet idea. I made one for my vise. Your toolpost extension is genius. Happy new year. Health, health and health. Anything more, we can either buy it or live whitout it.
Very interesting work,Mark and very nice handle.I didn´t care for this type of handle that came with the vice so I did fixed it my own way.Happy new year.Thank you for postng.
I'm new to your channel, and i have to say, I've found some of your ideas, work arounds, and techniques inspirational. I'm going to put your fumming technique to good use on my watchmakers' lathes. Have blessed New Year.
8:09 do you keep water in the bucket for your grinder? Or do you find with the rollercoaster ride the dust travels out ends up cooling enough to not burn the plastic bin?
Ha, ha, ha... "It looks like it's either 70 or 110 degrees". Sorry, but it sounds like something I would say. Of course it's off of 180. I think you can buy one of those spider vice handles, but it probably wouldn't have your hex size and I think I had to press a socket into mine even because it was metric. I had mixed emotions about it later. It was too big and the arms should have been shorter and stouter. It might have been the lever for a drill press. It was kinda big and in the way and I had to keep taking it off. I always thought it needed some sort of weighted spinning threaded hub that gives it a "hammer" and then spins and does it again the other direction to open it using a dog pin. You know, like some of those 5c collet closers with the hand wheel. How about a hollow hub filled with lead shot or depleted uranium (whatever you have handy) to make it dead blow. That cries out to be a casting, where's Lyle? Maybe you could use some heavy rods and radius the ends so they could take a mallet blow and not use any knobs. Make them out of 5/8" diameter grade 8 bolts and a 6 point impact socket in the center. Or not.

Thanks Mark, yeah, I magnet would have worked but it was a bit loose. It didn't feel solid.
Wow. Nice part. Great work flow. The business you retired from lost a great machinist ! Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks 👍 I mostly designed machine improvements for printing presses although I sometimes did some of the machine work at home.
Nice job Mark. I keep telling myself I am going to make one but always something else gets priority.
I've done the same. Thanks

Thanks Dave
Love the simple machining work no constant measuring just enough to get the job done,another grate video,thanks very much.👍
This is true, no need for perfection here.
Hello Winky, another great tool to add to your collection. I Like It!.😷👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks you
I don’t have a mill yet so I’ve been looking for things to do with just my lathe and this is a great example!!!
Thats great. There are links in the description to the tool post drill and indexer

I've used the chuck jaws like that before actually... kinda forgot about it. Ha
Good one Mark. That drill adaptor for the lathe tool post is slick. Always enjoy your background music! Hope you have a great 2024👍
Thanks 👍 I've used the tool post drill a lot.
Nice speed handle looks perfect for the vise and the mill.
Thanks 👍
You have some really ingenious setups and the handle turned out really nice. Great job. Who would have ever thought to spin a drill chuck thru a boring bar holder.
Thanks, I've used that toll post drill a lot. It's probably not super accurate but good enough for most projects
I think it was a great idea. Seems pretty accurate to me and it's quick.
Tool post extension never seen that, as you say “I like it”….nice upgrade/build
Thanks, yeah the extension helps a lot sometimes.
Great video,need to make one for my vise. I used to buy knobs from McMaster, but found several on thingaverse,and been printing my own.have big arthritic hands so I make them large,and they last well.
Thanks, Cool on he knobs
Great one again!! Thanks for the "Ad-Vise" handle!!😂 Keep up the great work!!
Haha... your welcome
@@WinkysWorkshop again, thanks for the great work!!
Thanks for watching!@@joehinson
Great build there it will be very handy in the future. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Thanks, will do!
Your "oh yeah " at the end sums it all up, cheers!
Yep... much better
Add a magnet to the inside of the socket. Holds tight, let go with a tug. Happy New Year.
Maybe that would work... it's only 12mm. I will seldom take it off so the set screw is fine.
Much better Winky, have a Good New Year, thanks for all the videos through out 2023.
Happy new year! And thanks!
Love it. How about adding a neodynieum magnet
Thanks a good idea!
I use a 3/4" deep well socket on a 1/2" drive T-handle. Middle position for fast open or close. Slide the handle to either limit for max leverage. Works great.
The sliding handle is okay but harder to spin fast and hits the mill gable handle.

@@renaissanceman7145 You're very welcome, Thanks!
Turned out good Mark 👍👍
Simple but effective, thanks
I hate those swivel handles too. I replaced the one on my Irwin drill press vise with a crank I devised, and it's way easier to use.
Yep, the originals are hard to use
Really great!
Thanks
Mark you make it look so easy. Always a pleasure to watch you work AKA do your magic. Thank you for sharing your experience. Have a Happy New Years my Friend
Thanks 👍Magic ? Thank again!
@@WinkysWorkshop Magic as in YOUR WONDERFUL WORK
Thanks!@@V8SKULLS
Great job!
Thanks
Happy New Year Mark! Some times the simplest projects are the most fun and the most useful at the same time.
Thanks... I've been meaning to do this for a long time now
This video was also of great benefit to me. thank you
Always nice to hear, thanks
Very nice indeed!
Thanks

Thanks, yeah the originals suck
Nice handle thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
That was a Brilliant video
Thank you sir!
Nice one winky, excellent job..
Thanks !
Awesome I need to make some for mine good job
Go for it!
I’m surprised if you don’t have a instruction manual for all your home made specialty attachments and tools.
I've made drawing and plans for some items. If they are available the link is in the discretion below the video.

Welcome! Yeah I love the fuming process, be careful with the ammonia.
@@WinkysWorkshop oh most definitely a very springtime affair. Well ventilated outside.
Nice one, all the best for this year and.........I too like it!🐸
Same to you, Thanks!
Very nice job. 💯🆒
Thanks!
Nice, and a happy New Year. Did glue my handle, still holding...
Cool idea on the glue, might work
PERFECTO PERFECTO y los manguitos los habia puesto 1 ,2 centimetros menos de largo
Cool
Sawasdee Pi Mai (Happy New Year in Thai), that came out nicely, job well done 👍
Thank you! You too!
just watched your series on your south bend try using cold bluing like you would use on a gun to make the numbers stand out
I need to try that. Thanks
No welder? No problem. Three grub screws would do the job. Or for a smoother look try a bearing retainer adhesive.
Yeah screws would work... or even short roll pins.
8:09 do you keep water in the bucket for your grinder? Or do you find with the rollercoaster ride the dust travels out ends up cooling enough to not burn the plastic bin?
Thanks for the video!
@@ironhead65Thanks, the bucket does okay. It was a quick fix. 'm thinking a 3 lb coffee can
Nice handle! What is the type and make of vise you are using here?
HHIP. It's a nice vise. I like the fact that it can be locked down anywhere or on it's side but it hard to use with flood coolant. amzn.to/3tCiQFk
