Taig Lathe End Caps

thingiverse

The Taig Micro Lathe is an excellent tool that stands out for its ability to be modified and improved. One major benefit of this flexibility is that users can refine it to meet their specific needs. However, this adaptability seems to have led to certain design aspects appearing incomplete. The front and back ends of the lathe bed are prime examples of this issue. A finished end on the lathe bed has always been something I've felt was lacking. It doesn't impact the tool's performance in any way; it simply appears as though a detail was overlooked. These caps address that problem. They fit snugly into either end of the lathe bed, and I designed them to be slightly loose for easy installation - all you need is a dab of super glue to secure them firmly in place. These caps are purely cosmetic and don't alter the lathe's functionality at all.
