Four Position Carriage Stop

[Localele]

For those without a Turret lathe this can make repetitive turning projects like stepped knobs much easier.It was made to fit my Hercus lathe which is very similar to the smaller South Bend lathes.Dimensions will need to be adjusted for your own lathe but that is half the fun of making your own accessories.Once you have the stops set up you need only worry about the diameters.

Michael,

That's great!

A carriage stop is on my to-do list, and now I may have to incorporate this too......

Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant idea and nice workmanship. Every one is wearing me out with all the projects I feel the need to copy.

Very nice. Solid and easy to use.

Not to hijack, but is that the factory colour for a Hercus? Mine is green, but I should be getting my machines back soon (after the fire) and might be doing some painting. Yours looks like a medium-dark gray. Thanks.
