Cross Drilling Fixture from an AXA Boring Tool Holder!
i had an idea to make a cross drilling fixture for my shenwai 1236 lathes' AXA clone toolpost.
an old 19.2 craftsman drill is powering the works.
estimated total project cost= under $5 (i had everything on hand and had to assign a nominal cost)
thanks for looking!
(/me dusting off thread) Just saw this, I hope you made several of these to give out as gifts next Christmas, since I didn't find one in my stocking this Christmas.

Here's mine. A Foredom type hand piece driven by a flexshaft going back to a 3600RPM old KitchenAid dishwasher motor.
(Can't find a pict of the motor...) Rube Goldberg has got nuthin' on me!
I wonder if I can re-do this into the holder style you used...

Grinder mode, before I got the Dumore. Actually worked out for finish grinding the ends of 1/2" Dia. rods to size. (NOT with that wheel...)
