After selling my 9x20 lathe and getting the Clausing lathe all tuned up it's time to mount the QCTP on the compound. My QCTP has a threaded stud that screwed onto the factory bolt on the 9x20. Now that I have a compound with a t-slot I figured I'd make a t-nut so that the adapter stud In my QCTP would screw into.
I've milled the t-nut last night:
and now am faced with a dilemma - how do I bore and thread this t-nut to accept the 9/16(?) stud? here is where the dilemma is coming from:
1. My largest drill bit is 1/2"
3. My new lathe doe not have a 4 jaw chuck
3. I do not have a boring head on the mill
Anyone has any idea how I could jig-it-up to bore and thread this to take the stud?
Thanks in advance,
Sharon
