626 mill riser block
<< < (3/15) > >>
John Rudd:
From the drawing I've seen on the yahoo groups website, it looks like it just has a recess and spigot...so looks like its fabbed from solid, ergo I'd see no reason to poke a hole in the middle unnecessarily....besides, I dont have a drill long enough to go right through... :Doh:
Ahem,
John posted while I was typing....
John Stevenson:
I have probably done about 6 of these now from various suppliers and I don't think any two have had the same spigot diameters as each other.
Now some were very early, possibly Taiwanese machines but a big difference on some. might pay you to take a quick measure first.

Just for interest, the Bridgy which is a far heaver built machine, [ did I post that ? ] is able to lift itself and fit the riser block.



This is a machine that has the slotting head on the back as well, my idea was to try it and if it was struggling, to ease the rear with a porta power ram and extension byt just raising the bed by hand , it managed fine.

John Stevenson:
Damn, wondered what had happened to that red shirt, no wonder I couldn't find it...........................
awemawson:
Nice riser John - WHERE did that come from  :lol:
malbenbut:
I have about 10ft off 5.5/8"x 3/8" wall thickness tubing  that may be suitable for riser block.
I was going to use for a chimney for my stove.
Open to offers.
