Modification involves three parts, namely a booster plate attached to the bottom of the top-slide mounting plate, a spindle and cam tightening mechanism, and an adjustable tool holder attached to the slide by means of a cantilever mounting block.1. … The booster plate is made from a round block of aluminium. First, the block is drilled and tapped with a 3/8"-24 hole in the middle. It can then be screwed onto the chuck arbor and then machined to a disk of the required size, 50 mm in diameter… The spindle allows the attachment to be rotated to any desired angular position, at the same time securing it onto the cross-slide by cam action. It consists of an 11 mm tall 12 mm diameter cylinder connected to a 6 mm tall 4.5 mm diameter pin at t… The tool holder is modified from an existing Taig tool post which I have recovered from an unsuccessful ball turning jig made earlier. Or it can be made quite easily from a block of aluminium. 21 mm is cut from the bottom of the Taig tool post, and … Having made all the necessary parts, the next step involved destructive modification of the original top-slide mounting plate and there is no way to go back once it was started. So I took extra precaution to make sure that the cam tightening arrange… I mounted the tool holder onto the shaft of the cantilever block, put in the adjustment cap screw from the top and the locking set screw from the side. I put a suitable tool bit in the tool slot. The assembly is then mounted onto the top-slide with… I have run a few trial turns with this modified top-slide and the results are very satisfactory. The top-slide is solidly secured to the cross-slide; the tool holder is stiff and can be easily adjusted for height. Changing mounting position and slid…

Step 1: The Design. ... The back toolpost sold by Taig has the lower edge of the tool slot milled at lathe centre height, so I use it as a handy and accurate guide for adjustment. The cutting angle of the tool bit can be changed easily without affecting its preset height. Loosening the long locking screw in the shaft allows the shaft and ...

Sep 22, 2017 . Currently Harbor Freight has them at $15.99. The plastic ones are more than good enough. A simple 1/16″ aluminum bracket holds the caliper. The readout is held on with foam tape (the lateral flexibility of the foam is insignificant). This shows the mounting bracket of the horizontal caliper to the carraige. Just make sure alignment is good so ...

Dec 18, 2013 . Taig now offers a lathe equipped with a power feed, but it was a little different from what I needed. I wanted a design that used the more conventional half-nut to engage/disengage with the screw. The lead screw also needed to disengage from whatever gear chain or motor that would be driving it.

A Thread Cutting Attachment for the Taig Lathe January 9, 2006 -- by Keith Brooke. End. Introduction. This is an adaptation to the Taig of a Unimat 3 threading attachment described by J. H. Frost in the March/April 1994 issue of the Model Engineers' Workshop. The approach resembles a woodworking lathe duplicating attachment in that it simply copies any thread pitch for which you already have a ...

A headstock and bed could be mounted vertically and turned into a sensitive drill. I have seen a Taig lathe adapted with a long bed for use in turning pool cues, and two lathes aligned end to end, their spindles driven in sync, for use as a glassblowing lathe.
The simple Taig toolpost is actually quite handy to use. It locks onto the cross-slide with a long cap screw through the body, secured with a square nut slid into either T-slot on the slide. Changing tool bits is easy, just release two cap screws.
The lathe bed is quite massive for its size, and from a functional aspect the fit and finish of the key components appeared to be very good. Also, for a manual lathe I personally prefer the Taig’s rack and pinion for carriage motion as opposed to the lead screw that the Sherline uses.

My remarks about their machines are from someone who has put them through their paces. Taig sells many accessories for their machines, and I've purchased a number of them since buying my machines. There are many tooling items that a person may need though, which are either kind of spendy, or just not readily available in certain sizes.
