vertical slide

(1/4) > >>

John Hill:
I bought a vertical slide a few days ago but I wont know how suitable it will be until I get back home on the weekend.



It is 180mm high and 115mm wide, the spigot for mounting in place of the compound slide is about 24.5 diameter and the 10mm mounting holes are about 92mm apart.  John Bogs, will that fit our lathes?  Otherwise I will have to modify somehow, in just a few days I should know..

John,

I think our spigot might be a little larger, I can't measure mine without taking the topslide off. But it would be an easy job to make a biggering sleeve to go over the one you already have on there.

The holes are 10mm diameter on a PCD of 95mm (as close as I can measure it at this time from a plate I have made).

So you are well within the 'make it fit' ballpark with that one.

Nice find.

John Hill:
Thanks John,  yes I thought a biggering (careful spelling  ::)) sleeve might be required which would certainly be easier than smallering the spigot.  Good news about the hole spacings! :thumbup:

We are on the ship today and hopefully in the garage tomorrow, though there may be some chores to catch up on! :coffee:

John Hill:
OK, after a  very fast (for me) drive from Christchurch to Picton (about 337Km) we caught an earlier ship and am home already! :ddb:

Now for the question, the mounting holes in this new vertical slide need to be moved about 2mm, so how to do it?  Would it be appropriate to drill the hole bigger, insert a steel plug into the cast iron and drill the new hole?  I guess the plug would have to be brazed into place?

Just to make it a little complicated I need to recess the hole and make a stepped nut (like a car wheel nut) as the foot of the slide is quite a bit thicker than the length of the bolts,

Hi John

Would it be posable to make the bush with a off set hole  :scratch:.

Just a suggestion.

Good Luck
