Review - The Creality Halot One Plus
Neil Wyatt has been using fused filament deposition 3D printing for nearly a decade, at that time it was almost unknown to have a resin-based stereolithography printer in your workshop. The latest generation of SLA printers promise outstanding quality at a similar price to FFD machines. How does this machine from Creality measure up?

Three-Way Toolpost by David Lammas
Look at almost any modern hobby lathe, and you will see that it is fitted with a square block toolpost, capable of holding four tools. In practice, you can usually tell anyone who has tried to run their lathe with four tools fitted by the plasters on their hands! Dave Lammas came up with a simple and elegant solution – the three way toolpost, a design that doesn’t leave you with a tool pointing straight out at the lathe operator. Dave Lammas was a prolific writer in Model Engineer and Model Engineers’ Workshop, covering subjects ranging from quirky models to an advanced hardness tester. The three-way toolpost originally appeared in ME in 1985, and the design was so effective it became really popular and universally known as the ‘Lammas Toolpost’, and can be made in a size to suit any lathe. In 1995 a posthumous article in MEW introduced the idea to MEW readers. It’s possible to carve one out of a solid block of steel or cast iron, but three sizes of casting are available from Blackgates Engineering that make machining a relatively straightforward exercise. -Neil Wyatt Subscribers Only
