Lathe Spindle Bumper

For years I had a brass bar a little over a foot long to slide in the left of the spindle and bump out MT5 accessories. Some other project required a piece of that bar and it was now too short to do the job. This is a replacement for the now too short brass bar. A bit long on design, but it works. I rarely use my MT5 headstock center, but regularly use 5C collets which require an MT5 adapter. It sticks pretty tight and needs a little help getting back out of the spindle nose.
