Adapting a Bedair Ball cutter to a 7x14 Seig

<< < (5/5)

Bernd:
Chuck,

A tiny bit of "Loctite" on the screw threads would help hold the screw. Lacking that I would try any glue, such as ACC or even a wood glue might work. Give it a try. Can't hurt.

andyf:
The plans show a fair depth of metal in the rotating component, under the toolholder slot. Could you take the tapped hole for the pivot screw all the way through, then put a socket grubscrew/setscrew in from the top, to bear down on the pivot screw and lock it in place?  The grubscrew would need to be short, of course, or it would protrude above the floor of the slot.

Locktight worked on the mini turner I made....

The screw that I used in the 9x20 turner was made to hit and bedded into the end of the threaded hole.

I just ground slight amounts off the top of the screw thread until when I tightened it fully it had just enough clearance between the shoulder and the base to allow the turret to rotate and was so tight it doesn't work free.

Worked then and still working now, tightened it twice since first build over 2 years ago  :thumbup:


Just on the pictures note.... It really would help us to understand what you've got and if we can suggest changes.... I know you asked about posting pic's.

You already know how to post the simple link but this is the best I could do to help people post pic's.... Hope it makes sense?   :thumbup:

Thanks Ralph, I have a photobucket  account (http://s571.photobucket.com/albums/ss157/chucketn/Machining/)and will post pics soon. It's currently about 36 Deg F in the shop/garage. I will take pics of the current setup when it warms up a bit!
I think I have some trimmer string in the lawn shead, too cold to investigate today!
I will probably try the string thread lock trick, investigate milling some more off the "L" shaped tool holder, and using a skate bearing in the turret. I bought a tube of 8 skate bearings a while back for another project.
In the mean time, another computer tech mate of mine donated a box of 20+ mouse balls for handle ends, so I'll get my 'balls' one way or the 'tother!

Bernd:
Chuck,

I'm not touching that last line for anything.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
