There are two locating dowels in the end bearing support.....look how well installed they are! The square gives an idea of how far out they are.... --- End quote --- Hi Mate :lol: I did warn you :poke: Rob |

Not got much more done....my 10 mm boring bar is broken...the tip has snapped and so has the torx screw....cant find my other one :coffee: so job stopped. On a brighter note, the inverter and motor I ordered last Tuesday have arrived....so more mill modding to be done :zap: |
| John Rudd:
Right, more done tonight...... I needed a spacer between the pf unit and the bearing at the end of the leadscrew, so after a bit of metal mangling, Igot to where I needed to be..... Then there's the bush that fits in the needle brg....so plan B....make them into one..... My spacer on the left, bush right...... |
| John Rudd:
So a bit of 1-1/4" bar duly sourced from the stockpile turned down to size and bored.....and I ended up with this.... |
| John Rudd:
The moment of truth.....will it fit? I measured, cut/measured/cut and so on......surely my efforts are not in vain....? Well no need to worry, the 1st bore that fit the larger diameter of the leadscrew was such a good fit that it wouldnt come unstuck after lathering it in grease.....so the excess was wiped off and the fit was......errrr perfect! A trial fit of the pf unit and all is good...... :) |
