Glad to have provided some encouragement.... :nrocks: Like Bogs said, you will never look back once you have this sorted. The improvements are too large to be measured... And you'll feel less tired..... :lol: |

Ok guys, Some progress today in the garage..after a bit of diy in the house ( we're redecorating...oh boy what a chore that is So, After deciding how to progress this, I made up the shaft for the motor coupling that the driving dog is going to slide on... Here's some snaps... I cut a piece of EN1 about 40mm long using my trusty bandsaw...Saves a lot of un-necessary grief.. After making a lot of swarf, I have made the shaft that will attach to the worm gear..The idea being that the driving part of the dog clutch will slide on the shaft... |
| John Rudd:
I need to cut a keyway for a 3mm key to locate the driving dog..the dog clutch I intend to make from some 38mm 6082 ally bar that I have,but that's something for tomorrow...more pictures... Tune in next time folks... More to follow.. |
| Darren:
That's a good start, once you get going it will all fall into place.... :ddb: keep the pic's coming, I'd like to see how you tackle this... :dremel: |

I need to dust off the angle grinder and fire up the gas axe....for the next stages.. :scratch: (only kiddin' ) Nah really, I think I got it sorted I might have to machine a bit off the body of the gearbox to reduce the overall profile so that too much doesnt stick out at the lh end of the machine... |
