      I love it Harold – that and the grinding table must be the two best home made bits of tooling I’ve done!

        Which Grinding table have you made, the basic one of the more advanced one. If the latter, I have only today made a very simple modification which enables one of the locking handles to be better positioned so that it does not interfere with the others. Should take half an hour maximum.
        If you are interested then contact me via my website and I will send you details. I will eventually add the details to the website

          Are you the same Harold Hall that wrote the ‘Lathework a Complete Course’ WPS book?
           
          I’m just working my way through it now, its the die holder in that I was going to make. I’ve been pretty much advised to buy a blank now though and at around 3 quid its a bit of a no brainer.
           
          I was rather pleased though on doing Chapter 3 (the precision square) to find that my lathe only had a difference of 1 thou over the 4 inches.
           
          You have a website?

            Yes Harold, the advanced one it is – I’ll contact you, as you suggest. Thanks!

              I think Wolfie that Tel has largely answered your questions regarding my books and web site.

              I would though add that your comment about purchasing a Morse taper blank is obviously, at this stage, the way to go if you are at all hesitant about making your own.

              If though you get into making workshop equipment it is likely that there will be occasions where this is not appropriate. For example, in the case of the milling cutter chuck, chapter 13, concentricity of the taper and the working end (the cutter chuck) is vital, and is best made as one piece.

              At some time you may like to make an item with an internal Morse taper, such as Tel’s dividing head. In this case, unless you purchase an expensive Morse taper reamer, machining your own taper is the only way.

              When you have completed the die holders, attempt to make a taper using a scrap of steel and if it works out I am sure you will eventually find a use for it. You could try either the method mentioned above or try the method I suggest in the book.

                Tel is correct but if you have some old backcopies of ME look at 5 august 1966 vol133 no 3302 pages 687-689 Machineing tapers by duplex this will give you everything you need to know. If not I can post the pages if David permits.
