Taig Lathe End Caps

thingiverse

The Taig Micro Lathe is a great tool. One of it's biggest strengths is the ability to modify and improve it. Unfortunately, this seems to have led to certain aspects of the design that appear unfinished. The front and back of the lathe bed is one such area. The lack of any kind of finished end on the lathe bed has always annoyed me. It doesn't affect the functioning of the tool at all, it just seems as if its something that should have been addressed. These caps solve that problem. The cap will fit in either end of the lathe bed and I designed them to be a loose fit, so a dab of super glue will be needed to secure them. These are purely aesthetic and don't alter the functioning of the lathe in any way.
