    Lathe Tool Post Cap

    Hi All,
    I recently made a tool post cap to replace the nut on the top of my tool post.
    This cap makes loosening and tightening the tool post much much easier, allowing for very quick and easy repositioning of the tool.
    Use of a thrust washer makes the action smooth and requires very little force to either loosen or tighten.
    Here's the video of the project.
    Please comment if you have any questions.
    Thanks!
