A simple tool which significantly improved quality of cutting and facing operations on a mini lathe.
My machine has an adjustment bolt for the longitudinal carriage. I use it for some operations to block carriage and increase overall rigidity. Unfortunately, bolt's location is not very convenient, so I made a small handle for hex allen bit.
The handle was printed from PLA plastic. The appropriate bit was heated and inserted into the handle.
