Great video. Good instructions and great video production. Just a thought for future use. I always was under the impression that one would get better holding power of round mounts by locating the two set screws at 90 degree point instead of the 180 opposing points. The theory behind that is that the screws tend to push against each other at 180 degree and you now can get a rocking motion with only 2 contact points whereas when located at 90 degrees..... You now have 3 contact points of the rotating mount. No possibility of rocking and actually more surface contact / friction...... Plus the 3rd point of contact is actually more surface area since you get contact of the round portion of the post touching the round rotating flange. For what it's worth..... If you agree.... It's an easy fix. Just drill another set screw and you are off to the races.

Always wondered about mill'n on a DP. With the lathe, you could fab up a heavy duty spindle of sorts that could withstand the side loads. Then use a cross slide vise and do some primitive milling functions. I've seen some DP's that are already HD enough to perform milling projects.

Nice work. The angle plate and bolting method is a lot sturdier than mine. A suggestion. Having the set screws on opposite sides of the base tends to make the part contact only on the two screws allowing it to teeter on the points. Most setscrews are set at 90 degrees to each other. That makes it always have at least a 3 point contact for better grip and centering.

Nice so far but brought back a comment a foreman on a machine shop try and tell me his Shop teacher in college told the class, the only machine that can make its selfe is a mill, I quickly told him he was full of shit. A lathe can make a lathe, you just have to redesign the whole way it is made and works. Don't live in the same box his teacher taught him. For every objection he gave me it can't make this or that I came back with a response right off how it could be done. Just because Bridgeports are made like this doesn't mean they can't be made like that. Now because you ahve turned a lath into a mill part time, and you can turn a drill press into a makeshift lathe or mill I think you could do this with about any machine in a shop you just have to work out the details. How do you think the stuff we use today was invented. Metalworking used to be done by hand.

@mikebergman1817

1ginner1 using your logic, what’s the point in doing anything at all? Two grub screws are how the compound slide is attached, plus using an endmill in a lathe produces a fraction of the torque and leverage that you do turning pretty much anything larger than the endmill. Not to mention it’s a more balanced cut, being that the milling cutter is using more than one flute, and it’s cutting 360 degrees of material, as opposed to 1 degree, like you would using the single point of a lathe tool. Not everyone has a mill. Why even discourage people?

Man, thats frigg'n brilliant. Looks just like the actual milling attachment. Did you design it or find the plans? Either way, it's great. Nice walk though from one step to the next. Very helpful to a newb such as myself.

+eviltwinx Thanks man. Probably not much new under the sun in manual machining. I saw a picture a few years back and worked out the details for my lathe. Not as stout as a factory attachment but works none the less.
