Vernier scale carriage stop

[ChrisB257]

I haven't posted much with regard to projects (laziness?!) - but thought I'd put this up. For the longest time, on my old Raglan lathe, my stop was a simple block, but felt something better was needed. A video was made but that was 3 parts long - instead I made a very condensed version for a sort of competition that was going on - probably easier to watch to show the main process. One or two errors were made but then corrected so, the end result is still very successful.

I couldn't easily set up a 40 pitch thread, which would have given a finer scale for adjustment - instead used a 20 pitch but that still works very adequately. Used scrap material for most part.

The video can be seen on my web site, where I index most of my YouTube videos. Below is an image of the finished item ...
