Well after a long time sitting in the back workshop I have finally got time to get the turret fitted to the front of the lathe instead of the 4 position toolpost. I now have 12 tool positions, 6 on rear turret and 6 on front. The rear turret is slow as it only rotates one way and has to clamp every tool. The front turret I have converted to servo motor indexing and can rotate both ways and go direct to the programmed tool. Still have to make a cover for it and make sure the bars are on centre exactly but it seems to be working well now after initial teething problems.
The other great thing about this turret is the tool holders fit on to the dovetails and are very accurate so I can set up different tools and just have them sitting ready to replace the current tools if I need them.
The turret originally came off a Bullard twin turret lathe that my friend was scrapping.
In the video I am running a programme with tool changes and 2 second dwell between each one and have it looping with a M47
