| Andrew Wildman:
Milled a slot around the bush to sit in the side plate. The slot did not go all round the edge. To speed up the process all the bushes were done in one go: Picture showing alignment method of bushes for top and 45 deg 'slots'. Two parallel ones were done using parallels (most critical) |
| Andrew Wildman:
after a bit of filing: bushes in position on side plate: next job drilling holes for the threaded adjuster, keep screw and oiling hole.... |

Just a quick CAD model from the plans supplied by Steve, thank you very much Steve. Drawn with Inventor 2012 Pro. Rendered with Inventor and Keyshot 5. Also added a 3D PDF so people can have a look around it. Hope someone likes or finds this useful. Cheers. |
| Andrew Wildman:
wow I wish mine was going to look that good! Thanks ausdier. I am a professional engineer so I spend a lot of my day in front of calculations and CAD (no greasy machines I am afraid!). So when I get home I try not to spend too long on the computer hence this is a close to cad as I get on home projects Bit of an update. Holes drilled and tapped in bushings. Holes drilled in a jig of sorts: complete parts (although I may counterbore the top) |
| Andrew Wildman:
started on the rollers. Roller length is limited to the material I had. The useable length will be 470mm. I would be finishing off the rollers tonight but I am looking after the kids while my wife is on a hen doo :( |
