Reversable Carriage Stop

[around]

With the Boxford restoration complete, it was time to start making some accessories. First on the list was a carriage stop. I had a look at a number of designs and then saw Tom Borowicz's reversable carriage stop in Metal Working Book 3. It was a good "machining work out" with screwcutting, deep pocket milling, knurling and dividing (50 graduations on the thumbwheel). I was quite pleased with the end result. It still needs painting to match the lathe but that can wait.

Cheers,

Adrian

The plans are found in MetalWorking Book 3 from Villages Press. It would be inappropriate for me to post copies from the book.

I did make my own working drawings in Autocad Inventor. Not sure the legality of passing those on (with suitable credit to the designer Tom Borowicz)?

Cheers,

Adrian
