| John Rudd:
John, Thanks for checking the handing issue, I'll stick with it as is.. Greatly appreciated..I'll bear your offer in mind...for reaming/broaching. :thumbup: |

Presupposing your mill and drive unit came from the same supplier, can you twist their arm for a spare gear to machine, then if it goes wrongly is not lost? You should not have to do any fitting/machining but that looks like the required solutioion. Not so bad when you are trying to cobble something up but disappointing when you have paid the going rate and debt with the specialists. Good Luck Phil |
| Fergus OMore:
Mine is a Align AL/CE-500D and is horizontal for the Warco mill/drill. So whatever John has, bears little or no connection with mine. I wonder if my version would have been better :scratch: I'm enjoying mine anyway Good wishes for yours Norman |
| John Rudd:
Phil, Quite rightly so.... I've spent over £1600 for rhe mill and bought the powerfeed from the same supplier, in total nearly £2k....only to be told that the Align units are a generic unit and may need 'mods' to fit. I am a bit disappointed... Norman, I already had the version you speak of....believe me if there was a way it would fit, I would have gone that route instead of enduring the grief so far... |
| John Stevenson:
They are Generic in that they were made to fit the Bridgeport and Bridgeport clones which far outnumber any other machines in that class. Many have fitted them to other machines but they are not bolt on, work is required. |
