Description: Lathe carriage indicator stop holder for the Enco 12" lathe. Fits:Enco 12" Lathe DOES NOT NOT NOT INCLUDE THE DIAL INDICATOR!!!!DOES NOT NOT NOT INCLUDE THE DIAL INDICATOR!!!!DOES NOT NOT NOT INCLUDE THE DIAL INDICATOR!!!! This is a HIGH QUALITY 3d-printed plastic material "indicator stop" which was developed and tested on an Enco 12" lathe. This is a high quality 3dPLASTIC part which is BETTER AS PLASTIC than metal stops because it does the job and WILL NOT DAMAGE YOUR LATHE WAYS!It cannot scratch the way and IF accidentally OVERRAN it will simply slide on the way WITHOUT DAMAGE! The below video is a demonstration on a South Bend 10K lathe showing the use of a simple carriage stop with a dial indicator. This allows setting so that as the carriage reaches a particular location, the operator can witness the position using the dial indicator and disengage or stop the carriage.It is best to set a position of the stop so that when the carriage reaches the dial indicator probe, the advancement to final position is approximately 1 dial turn or less. This makes it easy to "know" when you are about to see the correct "0" point to stop the carriage feeding.It was very easy to stop within 0.005 - 0.010" of a position.This allows you to "manually" advance the carriage to finish the cut if desired.This indicator works very good.Also, you can set tension on the indicator/stop clamp so if an overrun occurs the indicator stop will simply slide. I'm fairly inexperienced at lathe operation but I made this to help me turn a backing plate for a new chuck.It was fantastic and easy to repeat many cuts and STOP within a few thousands of an inch from a preset location.This is great for internal boring and thread cutting! NOTE: This does NOT automatically stop your carriage. The operator MUST manually stop or disengage the carriage feed when desires. The "dial indicator" (NOT SUPPLIED) provides a precise position for carriage stop. Dial indicator bore hole is 0.375 and has a set screw to secure it.Images in this listing SHOW the dial indicator probe set screw as you will receive it.
