The Home Engineer,
I previously saw your D1-4 mounting plate at your website ( http://www.modelengineeringworkshop.co.uk/ ) and thought it was great idea and not too difficult to make based on your photos and instructions.

Excellent utilization of workholder; always a good idea. That would fixture a chuck, faceplate, spindle nose collet closers etc., orientated besides flat on the table makes it & them even more useful. Vises alone not that good with cylinders in general.
I'll offer another. With a rectangular plate of somewhat thicker proportions, clamp mounted chuck over the side of table; allowing work on longer shafts than what a quill/ knee/ & part height accommodate. Tee-slots offer more strength than the mounting slot along front of table, per my front mount arrangement. That was created because our chucks were D1-6's and 8's, just too big and heavy. http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/t...t-holder-55207
These work of course, only where the ram swivels out of 'normal' area over table.

Thanks thehomeengineer! We've added your D1 4 Mounting Plate to our Machining category,
as well as to your builder page: thehomeengineer's Homemade Tools. Your receipt:
New plans added on 11/01: Click here for 2,541 plans for homemade tools.
Thank you for your interest. I have an original D1-4 drawing somewhere but it is a very poor copy. For the nosepiece, I used the main dimensions and had to adapt some to suit my needs. I will see if I can find the original drawing and post on here over the weekend.
