Well I finished up a number of parts for my grinder toolrest.
I finally can start assembling the parts an see what the finished thing will look like.
So far this has been a fun project, and it has given me a reason to purchase many new tools inncluding a RF-25 clone mill.
Anyway hope you like the photos :)

Looking forward to moving on with this

i like the pantograph type setup. You can move the tool all over the table and it'll retain the set angle. Well done! Can't wait to see it in action
 
Needed two new chuck keys for adjusting my Bison chuck, the ends are 0.280" squares. Started with 3/4" O2 steel rod for the body, was able to machine up to the collet using the electronic stop which allows one to use the machine feed without fear of crashing. Probably will not heat treat the keys, given I would rather have them wear then the chuck keyway. I also insert a 6 mm neodymium magnet in the key ends to hold both keys in while adjusting opposing jaws, and turning the chuck.

Yes it is nice, not my design but a fun build from a kit.
