A Simple Powerfeed System

摘要

I have a cordless pistol drill which I also use for setting the legs of my caravan. This gave me the idea to make a shaft for the chuck and fit it with a piece of wood with two holes to suit the hand wheel of my lathe top slide, photo 1. Photo 2 shows it in use. I don't use it for feed during turning, but it's practical when you have to move the slide back when turning a taper. The next step was to add a pair of pins, photo 3 so I can move the table of my milling machine quickly from one end to the other, photo 4. Finally I made a new shaft with three flats, so the chuck gets a better grip, photo 5.
