D1-3 Backplate
Steenkamp:
Right, so pins are mounted and now for the test of "does it fit as intended?"test.
It passed with Flying colours!!! :headbang:
Its a little tight when the backplate is cold but as soon as it heats up it releases as soon as the camlocks are released. Guess it was because i was test fitting while the backplate was warm from machining.
Fitted the backplate to the spindle and started to machine it flat and the boss where the chuck must fit. Its an old Rhome 4 jaw scroll chuck that was heavily beaten in its previous life, got it with the Chipmaster , unmounted.
Got the chuck to fit nice and tight and then took out the jaws to face the craters and other dings a bit smoother.
Next step is to grind the chuck jaws as they have had a rather tough life. I need this chuck operational as i currently only have a 4 jaw independant and quick setup is still something i aspire to.

Steenkamp,
I take all my pictures using my iPhone, but have never found a way of either reducing the size when taken, or editing them later to a small size. So my modus operandi is to upload them full size to my PC then use Paint to crop and reduce to 640x480. However I always save the full size image as it's amazing how often they are a useful reference.
Steenkamp:
Yip, same issue here. so atleast Im on the right track then

Hi Andrew & Steenkamp,
I use this method to reduce the iPhone photos !
I open the photos and email them to myself, this gives an option to select the image size
I have to do this with each photo, I haven't figured out if you can send groups of photos to email on an
iPhone 4 :palm:
Cheers
John
Steenkamp:
Thanks John , i will definately use that tip. Saves me from carrying that silly cable around! You must just hold in on your screen in the message body after the last photo and select "insert photo or video" then you can add as many as your server allows you to. Just figured that one out as i was trying out your tip. Learning everyday!
