Hi All
I am thinking about putting a leadscrew handle on my BV20 lathe to help me bore something that is fixed on an angle plate on the cross slide as the saddle rack and pinion is much too coarse for this purpose. Although i have an idea about how to do this i think it is a case of the more the merrier and suggestions would be greatly appreciated the tailstock end of the leadscrew has a centre hole in it and possibly this can be utilised . Thanks Tel for the idea about the simple dividing attachment i will be using that idea to do the divisions on the handle .
Cheers Paul
