First Mod To The DVR

[Dick Parr]

So far the only thing I have not liked about the new Nova DVR lathe has been the locking handles on the tool rest base and tail stock.

With my arthritis it has been very difficult to tighten and loosen these handles, being they are so small.

Well I fixed that today. I Made larger handles additions to the tail stock and tool rest base locking handles. I added knobs to the knock out bar and quil locking handle and changed out the locking bar for the tool rest itself. Since this picture I have taken off one of the locking bars from the outrigger (the bottom one in the before picture) and switched with the black bar in the after picture. Much More Better!

Thanks for looking
