| THE VERSERTILE DEVIDING HEAD |
|
PERHAPS GHT'S MOST POPULAR DESIGN,
THOUSANDS MUST HAVE BEEN MADE BY
NOW,IT BECAME KNOWN SIMPLY AS
THE 'VDH'
THE ONLY MOD THAT I MADE FROM THE
PUBLISHED DESIGN WAS TO INCLUDE
A MYFORD SPINDLE NOSE WITH A 2M/T
BORE SO I COULD USE MY LATHE
CHUCKS AND COLLETS.
|
|
|
| THE UNIVERSAL PILLER TOOL |
|
THIS I THINK IS THE MOST USEFULL
WORKSHOP ACCESSORIES I HAVE MADE.FROM PRECISION DRILLING,INDEXING,
MARKING OUT,RIVETING AND LETTER/
NUMBER PUNCHING ARE JUST A FEW
OF IT'S MANY USES.
THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS THE MINI
DRILL SETUP AND BELOW THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS THE UPT CLAMPED
TO THE LATHE CROSS SLIDE TO DRILL
36 HOLES THROUGH THE RIM OF A
REAR TRACTION ENGINE WHEEL.

THE RETRACTING TOPSLIDE
IS A GOOD EXERCISE IN MILLING,
BORING AND FITTING BUT I HAVE
NEVER USED IT FOR SCREW CUTTING,
I STILL USE THE OLD METHOD
OF DROPPING THE CLASP NUT AND
WINDING OUT.
THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF THIS DESIGN
ARE A MUCH LARGER MICROMETER
COLLAR PLUS THE TOPSLIDE HANDLE
DOSE NOT FOUL THE CROSSSLIDE.

| B/HEAD AND GRADUATING TOOL |
|
MY FIRST BORING HEAD WAS A BORING
BAR SET IN THE 4/JAW CHUCK,
IT WORKS BUT IT IS NOT VERY ACCURATE,SO I MADE ONE TO GHT'S
DESIGN,IT WORKS PERFECTLY.
THE GRADUATING TOOL IS VERY HANDY
FOR NEAT LINES ON MICROMETER
COLLARS,THE COLLAR CAN TURNED
INDEXED THROUGH THE REQURIED
NUMBER OF DEVISIONS AND FINISHED
ALL IN ONE SETTING
