In machinist school I learned to use the tool post on the cross slide as a tail stock quill stop. I would touch off the drill to the end of my part to zero the drill. Then, I'd bring the cross slide over to the tailstock quill with the tool post touching the quill. Then I would zero out my DRO, move my cross slide to the depth that I want to drill and used it as a stop. 100% accurate and repeatable results all the time.

Adding ammunition to my can: when the internal voice nags me “why are you keeping that?”, I’ll answer “cuz I may one day want to bolt it onto the lathe”. Nice

You are one hell of a positive influence! I have learned so much by your extreme consistent and clear way of showing and narrating. Thank you so much!

Luxurious indeed! Small investment in time, but huge pay-off in functionality. Now, anodise it😂

Toolception! Quinn, as a mechanical engineer (with a career mostly in plastic parts), I enjoy learning from your design process as much as I enjoy the machining and tooling stuff. This was great fun. Thank you!

YES! I'm so happy to witness the proliferation of the word "scunge!" Maybe you've known that word for a while, but I first learned of it a couple of years ago while watching the delightful Australian mad scientist over at Explosions and Fire. Such a good word.

You love to make this videos, we love to watch, at least I do. Thank you for sharing your skills in hobbyist machining.

For extra clamping, you could make the scale mounting screw do double duty as a grub screw.

I'm very impressed with how many improvements you have made to your mini lathe and mill over time. Can't wait for next week, Quinn.
