Darren:
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:
John Rudd:
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:

Cheers Darren...
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...
