In this episode I start the depthing tool project by making the bed for the tool, as well as the carrier bolts.
Plenty of lathe work, milling, drilling and use of a Vertex rotary table with a shop made fixture plate (based on Frank Ford's design)
I'm following WR Smiths design for the depthing tool. You can find plans and a description for it in his book "Clockmaking and Modelmaking Tools and Techniques"
