* modular table covers for the bridgeport
** modules
*** idea is to have them be in sections of 4-10" so they can accommodate the vice moving, &c
**** make multiple sizes, so they can be rearranged?
*** will need at least two special ones to fit snugly against vice sides, which aren't square
*** should have magnets in, so they stick to the table
*** blocks that fit (loosely?) into the t-slots, so they register easily
** manufacture
*** will have to laser-cut, to get the contours for the vice-hugging sections right
*** engrave holes for magnets & mark out t-slot block positions
*** screw / glue / staple t-slot blocks down?
**** top surface should be flat, so would need to countersink screws carefully
** material
*** maso or mdf would be easiest
*** plastic (hdpe?) for wear / oil resistence?
* convert one of the two spindexers into a powered cylindrical grinding fixture for the [[Boyer Schultz 6-12 Surface Grinder|surface grinder]]
** mount motor, add round belt pulley to spindle
** add thrust bearing to preload spindle
** big thick base so the spindexer doesn't need to sit in the middle of the mag chuck
** will probably need to make a pin spanner to tighten the front screw on
* tool height gauge for the [[Clausing Lathe|clausing]]
** mag base to make it easy to mount solidly on the ways?
** use dowel pin for reference surface
*** grind to proper dimension
** need good way to experimentally determine proper tool height
