Murray the box was drawn in an old version of Autocad, exported as a .DXF to Sheetcam where the G-Code was generated and the CNC plasma table runs Mach3 driving the steppers - described here: https://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,11797.0.html |

Just a thought Andrew, might it be possible to create a top cover? Perhaps some careful machining would remove enough to enable pressing from the other side and then a fabricated cover to finish the modification. John |

John, when I have the Bridgeport back running with Murray’s motor I can bore some strategically placed holes to drive the stator out, but I don’t fancy drilling them with a Black and Decker! |

'but I don’t fancy drilling them with a Black and Decker!' Understood :clap: |

Today was scheduled to be Hedge Cutting with the flail on the tractor - especially long period of puppy sitting negotiated with the wife while I did it, and off I went. First pass went fine down the entire length of the ten acre field, second pass came to an abrupt stop 2/3 rds of the way down when I was covered in broken glass - door upper window and cab side window shattered - bit of a shock and a very loud bang. Seems I just touched the top of a fence post, a bit of which did the damage. About £120 worth of glass brought a halt to hedge cutting. Contemplating replacing them with Polycarbonate. However every cloud has a silver lining they say - I then had time to finish fitting the Bridgeport single speed motor - hooray I have a working mill back - thanks Murray. I'd just finished putting the tractor away and what should turn up but a dual speed Bridgeport motor complete with pulley and switch - brand new - not free but I hadn't actually expected it to materialise. Seems these motors are like No 11 buses - none for ages then two turn up ! |
