Miniature die filer

The Quorn is very interesting but it strikes me as a very light weight machine. It is built with lots of bar stock and just doesn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling.

i toyed with the idea of making something like the Quorn before I built something completely different shown here http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/h...fference-56205

The Quorn was designed to be made on a small lathe with a milling slide hence its small size. If you read the post on mine you will see that you can make something much simpler with less degrees of angular freedom without losing any function.

For those unfamiliar with the Quorn here is a pic.



The Quorn was sold as a plans kit and/or a set of castings to be machined. As each Quorn is homemade they all are slightly different usually incorporating the constructor's own ideas. For example the one pictured uses an ER collet holder which was not in the original plans.
