How much material did we remove off this piece of plate to make our new tool post!? In this video we are making a standard style 4-position tool post for our big lathe. When we got the lathe it gave us quite a few dramas (that we finally sorted) but we have never been happy with the “quick change” tool holder that is on it. So it’s time to make a new one, which gave Kurtis a few dramas as along the way! To make this tool post we are using a piece of 210mm square bis alloy 80 grade high tensile plate. We show the step by step process including facing, drilling and boring in the lathe before a lot of processes on the milling machine. We need to face down all the sides, mill all the slots for the tools, drill and tap 12 bolt holes before drilling and countersinking a hole for the locking dowel pin. Even after all that work this new tool post is not completed, watch Part 2 here to see the finish & testing: https://youtu.be/aOCMQS843F4 In this video we are using: - Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe - Hafco BM-63VE Milling Machine Join our channel: We upload new videos every Friday at 5pm AEST!
