Tailstock indicator holder

[daryl bane]

Here's my version. The bracket is a quick release and can be removed or installed without disturbing the tool in the ram socket. Somebody asked why I didn't go digital, I just like watchin the needle. The sliding indicator holder rides on a keyed shaft(its on the bottom), that keeps it in its proper position.

nice looking set up and workmanship. Nice clean lathe as well. Great job.

Daryl - is your wife going to let you put it in the living room when you get it finished? It is too beautiful to have in the shop where it might get scratched!

[daryl bane]

Yeah, I've already dinged it up, so the karma says its now ready for use. Haven't quite got it finished yet, but been makin chips and it really is a wonderful machine to use.

Nice solution Daryl.
Is that the threading drive to the right on the lathe if so neat idea, never seen the like.

He just wanted to show off that beautiful Monarch 10EE. Can you show us some better pictures of it? Oh yeah, nice looking indicator holder.

Many thanks guys. My ego gets the the best of me, so here is a pic from a while back. I have one more trick to finish and then there will be some more photos. The paint on the carriage is indeed the same as the rest of the lathe, just doesn't look like it in this pic.
