D1-4 Mounting plate has been made so the work holding devices from the lathe can be used on the milling machine or drill. This can be bolted stright to the table, angle plate or the rotary table etc.

The Home Engineer,
I previously saw your D1-4 mounting plate at your website ( http://www.modelengineeringworkshop.co.uk/ ) and thought it was great idea and not too difficult to make based on your photos and instructions.
Regards,
Paul Jones
Excellent utilization of workholder; always a good idea. That would fixture a chuck, faceplate, spindle nose collet closers etc., orientated besides flat on the table makes it & them even more useful. Vises alone not that good with cylinders in general.Quote:

That was created because our chucks were D1-6's and 8's, just too big and heavy. http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/t...t-holder-55207
These work of course, only where the ram swivels out of 'normal' area over table.
Hi Toolmaker51
Sometimes you just have to find away to overcome problems that are presented to us. Also it is impossible to have every tool for every situation so comprimise and a bit of creative thinking, most jobs are possible. Sometimes we just have to think outside the box.
The Home Engineer
Agreed, and as regular a process we can manage.Quote:

Hi, would you have an CAD or technical drawing of the tool ?
on mij schaublin 102VM I have an D1/4 camlock nose so i have already the chuck and so
thanks in advance
Thank you for your interest. I have an original D1-4 drawing somewhere but it is a very poor copy. For the nosepiece, I used the main dimensions and had to adapt some to suit my needs. I will see if I can find the original drawing and post on here over the weekend.Quote:

Hi Bart
This is the drawing I used not very easy to read but I managed to make out most of what I needed and made up the rest. Found it on the internet. If you need further help, do not hesitate to get in touch again.

If you can find / post a dimensioned drawing it would be really appreciated, and would make producing a replica much easier. I have been putting off trying to work it all out for a long time - being new to the hobby (in terms of skill not interest) a good drawing would be so helpful, and one less source of error!Quote:

If it helps this is a link to my website and the D1-4 Plate Practical Engineering
Many thanks - what a wonderful website - loads of content and some lovely work. Thank you
I used to have some very well detailed prints of lathe spindle noses, which included good quality shop drawings for each style nose and backing plates. I found this it give most of the dimensions but not well detailed

This one may be a little better

Thank you Frank - these are most helpful 😉 really must try to make one now. Cheers, NickP
Nick it has been a long time since I had my ANSI code book volumes but I seem to t\remember the ANSI code for spindle noses was B-5 point something like .8 or .9 maybe 1957 or some such.Quote:
