My little Denford Starturn (slantbed) is currently running on a standard Dixon Toolpost and a tooling block.
I would like to make a manual tool carousel, operating off the slantbed with the same axis as the lathe spindle and say, eight positions. That could be simply manually clicked around on programmed tool change notifications.
Has anyone faced this design, on this, or similar small lathe.
I am preparing to design it in 3D CAD. But thought It might be interesting to seek comments if possible from anyone who has tackled it already. I do have 3D CNC milling so design complication. e.g. castellated taper locking, as in some commercial applications would not be too much of a problem.
But just wondered if there is a simpler method out there.
Pleased to do a design/make collaboration with any interested party.
