Made a hard and soft stop for my lathe. I had made a soft stop previously but thought a hard stop would be more useful so I made one that did both. 

Looks very smart Job Shawn   , lovely looking knurls , well done .
  Cheers Mick.

hi well dun i need to mack one for my lathe to

Nice work Shawn

I like it! Nice knurls but kudos for the form of the lever as well. It's not easy to get a shape like that, very deliberate effort required.

Thanks guys, I was pretty happy with how it came out despite not having any sort of plan ? I got lucky but really need to start planning my projects out a bit more. The handle profile was cut with my homebuilt radius cutter. I'm finally starting to get the patients required for adding the small details that make a big difference.

Nice job Shawn. I like the dual duty aspect of it.

Thanks Tom, I was actually planning to make the carriage stop you designed for the Atlas lathe. like I said though, I gotta get better at following through on the plan ? I needed a vise stop for my little cnc mill today so I spent a few hours on this, never did get around to the original project.

What are you talking about not easy to get a shape like that............everytime I turn a shaft I get some variation of that!
