My Grizzly GO765

Made a new tool post locking knob. the Allen bolt was driving me crazy.

Bored out the bottom to set down over the aluminum sleeve to help center it.

Re-purposes one on the stock levers but I'll probably replace it. Finally ground my own HSS bit, cut really well, better than the HF one on Al. Need to try it on steel.

Added a new Al handle to the QCTP, short one couldn't torque enough to keep it from rotating.

Made a new small pulley to slow my 12 Craftman bandsaw down some more for cutting metal. I've replace the motor with a treadmill motor already but it still had issues getting slow enough

Wanted to create a hand wheel to use while tapping or using a die. Might use it for hand turning short threads as well. Had a wood disk laying around so I chuck it up to gauge what size the final one needs to be for leverage.

Back size view of the expanding section. Hole near the disk is for a pry rod to hold it still while tightening the expanding bolt.

Going to start on another expander to mount up a gear type indexing wheel setup. I turned this one a little lose in the bore where it expands so it doesn't sit as true as I want it for the indexing system.

Been a while for updates.
Cleaned up the work area and started a rack for tooling.

Added a tailstock DRO from a harbour freight 4" caliper

Added a AccuRemote 6" DRO to the cross slide. This is the second revision. First one was made out of 1/8 AL and flexed too much. This is 3/16 AL and 1" Square 1/8" tubing.

Added a rubber gasket swarf cover to keep the DRO slide clean

One could add a buffing wheel, sanding disk, interesting.

Actually the buffing wheel is a good idea...might have to try that tonight.

I also made a indexing wheel arrangement based off others efforts on the internet....need to take some pictures of that.
 
A very good post. Helped me a lot. Do you have any more updates?
Help me out gents, what is DRO?
