    Rear Tool Post Spacer Block Sherline Lathe

    They say the Sherline Lathe is at it's best with a rear cutoff tool and I always wanted to try that on my mini lathe.
    So, I made a spacer block for the Sherline supplied front cutoff tool and got a longer hold down bolt for use on the rear of the cross slide table.
    Nothing special about this at all, just a 1/2" high block of aluminum with a hole in the right place. It is not in the center but offset.

    We won't know how this works for a while.
