T&C Grinder Build #3 - Arm Pivot Bases Part 1

I get a new 4 jaw chuck, and now can hold the stuff much better to machine everything up, so I start on some of the castings I did up previously, and make a threaded bronze bushing for the micrometer adjustment

Like your new chuck. You did some nice machine on those aluminum castings. Looking forward to see the end results. Have a good day.

Nice chuck will definitely increase the large accuracy. Now no excuses now time to dive head long into the project.👍

Mind of a genius, hands of an artist!

[davidstansbury]

Thanks for the video can’t wait to see it all done and thanks for your time

[craigtate]

Love the way you did your lathe taping. Always a hassle for me

[Gippetos]

Nice work. :) Handy having that line shaft at times I see.

Nice work on the T&C Project! It's really coming together now. Would also be interested in a set of plans, if you do work up them up someday.

Hey Chirpy. They are coming together quite nicely. Congrats on the new chuck and backplate. I know it is making life better for you! Looks like there is some interest in a set of plans for this machine. I would be interested to. HINT HINT!

G’day chirpy coming along nicely, you should be happy with the new chuck, sweet. I’d be interested in seeing some plans for this.
Cheers

Great progress. Did you make the aluminium bronze yourself? It machines really well.

PS: The other benefit of the new chuck is the massive bore in the centre. It looks to be more like 60-70mm (2 1/2") rather than perhaps 30mm on the old one (1 1/2"). That extra capacity comes in handy all the time.

Congratulations on the new chuck. I was wondering what kind of chuck you have in the tail stock, and where do you get one? Also the Lock Tite used works by reacting to iron, so if you use it to hold nonferrous parts, like brass and aluminum, you should use an activator to make it set up. You'r doing an outstanding job, on the project, as well as thinking ahead.

Great work my friend. I know wit has been 3 years but do you have central belt system in your shop? I am building one of those and I am go9ing ot power it by steam. I am in Pennsylvania. Where are you?

[hitnmiss]

Great job. Are plans available for this T&G?
