Very nice work. Looks like it is going to one solid tool. --- Quote from: Spurry on December 15, 2016, 02:27:08 PM ---.... Just got a slight undercut where the weld started/finish on the 1" x 1/2". :scratch: Any ideas how to avoid that? Pete --- End quote --- I have experienced same thing with hand held tools. When sanding into step/stop just can't controll it well enough. Sometimes it helps a little to grind from the other side....sanding drum will try to lift a little instead of digging in. I'd just leave it as it is. It shows that it has been hand finished lovingly and not mass produced. It looks good. And anyone done the same thing appreciates it - fools don't see nor understand the difference. Pekka |

Thanks for the comments. Just waiting for a new piece of cast iron to arrive. After a re-design of the re-design :scratch:, I have decided that the best way of ensuring that there can be no possibility of sideways movement of the ram is the have a lip on three sides of the body, so that in effect it hooks-over the top-slide. It does mean though, that the hole for the securing stud will have to be very accurately placed and drilled... :scratch: Pete |

A little progress after the new chunk of cast iron arrived. Pic 1 Nominally it is 130 x 60, but is slightly hollow on the width. Pic2 shows the recess being rough cut with a 20mm Little Hogger, after marking out. I deliberated for quite a while as to whether to drill the stud hole first or last, and decided to drill it first. The stud was locked into the top-slide by a hex-keyed screw from underneath, so was easy to remove. Pic3. The recess was finished to size with a 6mm carbide 2 flute, usually used on my router, and it worked well. Also used to finish the whole depth to size. The part-finished chunk fits the top slide like a glove. I would like to say that the stud just dropped in...but cannot. :( After using a 1/2" drill to enlarge the 12mm hole..it now fits, as pic4.
