I like it! Looks very strong, how'd you make it?
No, not a tractor. - I live about a long rifle shot away from the original 1066 battle sightNice. Well done.
Farmall1066?
The black casting started life as a cheap Chinese toggle clamp. LIKE THIS The base is 4" x 6" x 1/2" aluminium. The two vertical bars are 1/2" stainless steel 8" tall.
The brass tip of the ram can be changed for smaller calibres and the whole head can be raised or lowered to suit the cylinder. The ram has compound linkage and can easily seat oversized balls.
I made a new ram and reamed out the casting to give a smooth sliding fit. I made it up in my home shop, just a small old lathe and a Chinese hobby mill.
Just starting on a small arbour press now.

Wow, that metal base of that concentricity gauge is beautifully machined. Are you a machinist by trade?
