Dean over at Dean’s Photographica is a photography enthuastiast who has some excellent machining skills. His site has several projects made with his TAIG mill and lathe. Dean also has an Atlas 8×18 lathe, which has some very nice improvements that are documented here. The project shown here is a nice addition to any lathe, which is a dial indicator mount for the lathe bed. This allows for precision movements of the lathe carriage during the machining process.
Here is a look at the finished product:
and the mount fitted to the lathe bed on the Atlas 6/18
