Now screw a handle onto that modified nut and you won't have to hunt for a wrench. That's what I did on my lathe.
Not a bad idea on the carriage lock, it doesn't take much torque although the wrench may be in the way.
THAT'S CHEATING! You can't do that! It's not traditional! ;)Quote:

Make the handle short. As you say, little torque is needed. If the end of the handle is threaded, the handle can replace the set screw.Quote:

It's a worthy time, step and labor saver.

No introduction?
NO WATCH!
I Still remember doing that on a 3/4 midget race car and have seen it used on other cars
Good idea. Thanks
If you have an Atlas lathe and a 3D printer, this little carriage lock wrench works surprisingly well, and stays out of the way. 'Been using it on my 10" Atlas for a while now and it works well for me:

3D printers are amazing!
believe I bought one in steel for mine. Where were you when I needed you?!? :)
I shoulda thought of that! But I didn't. Nicely done!
Bill
Thanks Bill!
