I have built about 4 each of these.

Nice Job

Thanks for sharing

Nice. Very similar to the one I made for my Hercus. The second rod is a hard stop lined up with the zero mark after the needle goes around a few times. This allows me to disengage the leadscrew at around 95 and bump it in by hand.

Just curious...what's that contraption you're machining?

OP-Nice job on the DI holder...definitely on my short list.

It's a Cat-head Steady that I made for my 9" Hercus lathe.

Cool. I need to make one of those eventually. I've had the idea for a while but never saw one. Looks good.
