Russ, At times, like at the moment, I am a tinkerer. Just catching up on jobs that need doing around the shop. I am also an avid picture taker (not photographer) and someone who talks a lot (mainly to myself, or Bandit), so doing these small posts comes naturally, and if anyone can get a little enjoyment, inspiration or knowledge out of them, then it is a worthwhile thing I do. It is like keeping a diary of what I get up to, and if luck is with me today, I will have a couple of more pages to write before the end of the day. When you say you have nothing to post, then you must be doing nothing at all in your shop. Even tiny mundane things have an interest to some people, so if you just doodle on a scrap pad, take a piccy and let us have a look. You never know, someone on here might interpret doodles, and they will be able to tell you some things you don't know about yourself. This site isn't to do with one thing, almost anything goes. Bogs |

Bogs --- End quote --- Well, I usually don't have anything to add to most of your posts, like your post "Getting the mill add on just right." That is something I have never seen before, and that I find facinating! Anyway, that is besides the point. You are right, I should be posting more of the stuff I do with my little machine tools. I'll try to practice what I preach! Russ |

Rather than reply to a DRO installation, i think this will be better here. The X axis ideally needs to be on the front but as you can see and i have the same as Bogs here. Access to bed stops, tripper for power feed but the most detrimental is when using a rotary table even worse with big dividing plates dropping down the side of the bed. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/Deere_X475guy/Machine%20Shop/D1-4%20reciever/IMG00128-20090703-1619.jpg The only solution to mount the X axis on the rear. Mounting on the front would need well over 3" throw to then get at bed stops but would still infringe on dividing plate handle, just a thought rather than lose 38mm of Y travel and risk breaking the scale when swarf builds up at rear. Bogs you need a quick release handle to replace that nut on the QR tool post, first thing i did got same one and size just need lots more tool holders at the right price. |
