Got a little bit more done this morning, the cold weather and family commitments have slow the build down a bit. Finishing off the bearing housing:- I hadn't left enough flat surface for the screws to sit on so I needed to set the housing up on a lose mandrel to turn the dia down a bit so decided as I was already set up to taper the housing as the drawing. Made a lose mandrel from a stub of steel faced off and tapped M8 with a cap screw with a big washer. You use a lose mandrel on jobs where getting things dead concentric is not important, the fit of the mandrel in the bore can be like a prick in a shirt sleeve to use the correct work shop term. This is the mandrel Put the housing on lightly nip up the cap screw and clock it up tighten the cap screw check that nothings moved Machine away the bits you don't want. I've bought some M3 stainless steel dome nuts that I think will look real well. Cheers Stew |
