Viceroy TDS 1/1 G.B - Splash Guard and shelf
Posted: Fri 12 Sep , 2008 11:17 am
Hello
Just a small welding project for my TDS lathe. The lathe came with a splash panel that was hung off the brackets for the taper attachment. For a number of reasons, I decided that this was unsatisfactory. This included not having a convenient shelf to place items.
I made a frame for the aluminum panel. The panel is held on with wing nuts. This is so I can remove the panel easily to allow me to swap cross slides. I have a Tee slot cross slide as well as a standard one.
The frame includes a shelf for handy tool stowage. The shelf intentionally slopes to prevent any chance of items vibrating off the shelf.
The frame is bolted to the base.
