    Default Carriage Stop Clamp Plates

    Gary Edwards asked me for the dimensions of the clamp plate Hercus supplied with their carriage stops. I'm certain a CAD drawing would have removed the lumps and bumps but both plates I have are sand cast and do not sport much in the way of straight lines so I simply traced around the plate that came with the micrometer stop. The mic stop came with my 1969 9", the fixed stop is a 260 accessory.

    Very cool. I’d love to make a mic stop for my 9” one day.

    Your handwriting is also mightily impressive!!! Continued use of laptops has rendered my all but useless other than to confuse my future self about what I should have remembered Carriage Stop Clamp Plates

    Neevo,

    I too struggle to read some of my scrawls! And I reckon I've lost the ability to write after spending close to forty years printing.

    The micrometer stop would be my most used lathe accessory. Invaluable.

    Bob.

    Thanks for the offer John but for you to draw the thing in CAD would require me to measure and draw the thing by hand first. I reckon we both have more interesting things to do with our time!

    Thanks Dave,

    Things are starting to loosen up here but it could turn out to be premature. They have increased the number in a gathering from two to ten. As far as social distancing goes, many have no idea or simply couldn't care less.

    For me, self isolation has been great, plenty of shed time, finishing stuff off that should have been bowled over a long time ago.

    Bob.
