Spindle nose dead center

Hello all;

I made this little guy so I can use the spindle taper to hold a dead center while using the face plate at the same time;

The taper on the left fits the 15 degree Taig spindle nose. The taper on the right is the standard for dead centers.

Nothing fancy, but practical for the kind of work I do. It has a draw bar that pulls it into the spindle taper. There is a short construction article with more pics at:

Excellent work as always, Dean.

That should come in VERY handy-

I think it will, Dave. It's nice to need something that's easy to make, too! After the rotary table project, I needed something simple. Wink

Indeed, that was a nice job on that one as I saw your webspages about it.

You're definitely one of those guys that show the full capability of these great little machines- Cool
