Calculator mount
The price of calculators is so reasonable today
that I decided to mount one on my lathe and
mill. I just bent up a bracket , added a little
Velcro (simple on and off) and the task was
completed.
Chopping board
Laying down tools on your mill will eventually
mark up the table. I have always liked the idea
of protecting the machined surfaces of my
equipment with some sort of protection device.
I use to just use a board but I think somebody
in MSA mentioned cutting boards from K mart.
They are cheap, easy to wash and don't soak up
any oil. They are also a good source for
plastic material.
Chip Guard
A quick and easy chip guard is a scrap piece of
Plexiglas with a couple of slots to fit over
the two screws in your mill vise. You don't
need to tighten it. It just slips on and off
the two screws. Because it's easy, you'll end
up using it. Keeps the floor clean.
"T" handle holder
This is pretty straight forward. What I like
about this is it can swing out of the way. Also
a ½ turn and it's off the table. I
adjust the stud in the "T" nut so it positions
itself in a handy manner.
