Three new PM3520 Tips

[Jerry Hall]

I was emailed some very nice new Mustard Monster tips that have not, I believe, been posted on a major forum.

1. Another, of many nice ideas, for a spindle lock is at the top of the page HERE
Thanks Joesph O'Leary

2. A simple way of keeping the tail stock locking lever up while moving the tailstock. Thanks Art Ransom

3. And just when I thought all the ideas for handling the tail stock had been developed a very elegant solution shows up. Thanks Peter Haney

These two tailstock ideas are HERE

And there is a new page for Miscellaneous Tips. It would be nice to get some more! So post them here or email

I think you accidentally pasted in the address for the spindle lock idea as the tailstock ideas link.

Whoops!

Thanks. It is fixed.

I find it really helpful if the tailstock locking lever stays in the unlocked position until I lock it down. I just loop a heavy rubber band over the quill housing, near the hand wheel. Then I loop it over the knob of the locking lever. The rubber band keeps the lever pulled straight up, but it is not strong enough to pull the lever up when I've locked down the tailstock. I often take the tailstock off, and when I put it back on, it's really handy to have the rubber band holding the lever in the unlocked position.
