    Hi guys. I’ve now started a Patreon account. If you’d like to help support the channel, I’d appreciate it so much. So far I’ve added the plans for this videos design. I’ll hopefully continue to add the designs as I create these videos. Cheers guys for the support 🙏 <a href="https://patreon.com/FabLife?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink">https://patreon.com/FabLife?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink</a>

    I find lathes so fascinating. I have no need or use for one but I love watching them do their thing!

    The idea is good. It all looks a little wobbly. A stronger spring is definitely better. I would also make the spring-loaded pin at least 8 mm in diameter so it can&apos;t bend, and shorten the spring travel to 20 mm. It&apos;s enough if the tap is guided through 4-5 threads. After that, it guides itself. Too much spring travel makes the whole thing less stable. I would definitely ream the holes to an H7 fit with a reamer to ensure precise pin guidance.
