Great idea - I'll have to make a few for my lathes - Unimat 3, Sherline, and a South Bend. Have you considered flipping it over and drilling 4 more holes in the other end, perhaps fractional sizes to hold even more sizes?
Firstly thanks for watching. Secondly, that is a brilliant idea! I don't know why I didn't think of that! 🫣 I will flip it over and drill the other side with imperial size holes. Thanks. 😎👍
Well I've made one for my Cowells - but very different! I machined some cast iron bar to fit in place of the normal toolholder but it is cross-drilled in the same way. And it works very well.
Just watched again Matt. This tool is absolutely spot on. Video is very clear and well presented and as you made it on the Cowells itself,even better. 👍😊.
For my Unimat DB, I made one to hold an 11 mm drill bit (useful for M12×1.00 threaded holes), plus a 1/4" hole for various useful bits. Very much appreciated!
Though there are similar items, I was surprised that there isn't anything commercially available. But then I figured each lathe will be slightly different and so it's probably better to make your own to suit. Thanks for watching. 👍

Awesome idea,I'm looking to get myself a model making size lathe very soon . Thanks for this Matt
Thanks! I've got to make one. Wonderful Idea!
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching. 😎👍
Thank you for this. I was mentally drawing up something similar for my Unimat 3. Makes a lot of sense for “centered” operations.

Hi Matt, could you please recommend me some channels or some videos about making Chuck Backplate, I am totally newbie.😎
Sorry for the slow reply. I somehow missed your message. I can't really recommend any in particular because I haven't watched any I don't think. ☹️
@@machinist_matt Hi Matt..I think you are so cute.. I found the answer to that question on TH-cam and I'm sorry for bothering you.😍
