Back Stop & Facing Tool for Super 7 and Big Bore


“A Gift”

This is a Back Stop and range of Facing Backplates in a handy set. Recently called a “real gift” by one of the engineers who regularly buys Accessories from our Spares Counter. He also said it was a ‘well kept secret’. So we thought we should say a little about how useful he and others find it.

The set comprise 9 Flanges, a 2MT (4MT for Big Bore machines) body and a threaded spindle with stop nut. The pieces in the image above. A Kit under two part numbers, Part No 33/066 for the Big Bore and 254 spindle and Part Number 33/065 for the standard bore spindle Series 7 & 10.

When used without the Flanges it makes a very useful chuck back stop. With the flanges it becomes a useful aid for facing workpieces that are difficult to square in a chuck i.e. when chucking length is less than half its diameter.

In use the largest of the available Flanges, less than the diameter to be chucked, is selected. The Flanges have been made slightly below the fractional inch size, e.g. 1.730 dia for use with 1 3/4" dia location.


Part No 33/066 Big Bore & 254 machines £97.84 + VAT
Part No 33/065 Series 7 & 10 machines £52.93 + VAT
