some toolholders and a drawbar I have made in the last few weeks or so. 2mt threaded for drawbar on left side...the rest are straight shaft. I'm new to this but I am pleased with the results...Draw bar has collet that I purchased on it....
Hey Joe, I have a craftsman 618(atlas101) as a lathe another older 618 set up with a milling attachment. What I did was (and I doubt it is proper procedure)suspend a 2mt center between the headstock and tail-stop and adjust the cutters angle to follow that. I drilled and tapped it for a draw-bar and it works well on the mill. Next is a carriage stop which will hold a dial indicator or a rod....Need to mount a 4jaw chuck too,after that I will need a way to make gears and I saw an great idea ...lol On the draw bar I kind of cheated with the threaded ends the bar is hollow but thick walled and I milled down bolts with the threads I needed press fit them in and ran a pin through and peened it over....works great
