Hi All Well i have started on a new project over the weekend ,more tooling :dremel:, an indexing attachment for the Myford lathe. The indexing atachment was designed by J.A.Radford and i am working from his artical in Model Engineer 5 Jan 1968 (great year) ::). I thought i would get the worst job out the way first ,the Index plates ,all those holes . I started with some 10mm plate . Then i turned up a mandrel ,to mount all four the plates to turn the O/D Then each plate was mounted and the edges chamferd The original design call's for a set of 4 plates 7 set of holes on each, just short of 1500 holes , FAR FAR TO MANY HOLES, so after some thought ,i decided to cut the number of plates to 2 with 9 sets of holes and only 525 holes , i wil not be able to index 73,119 173 and other daft numbers , i can live with that. On the other end of the mandral i turned up an expanding mandral to hold the plates for drilling. The other side ,lots of deburing to do Still some numbers to stamp on the plates Cheers Rob |
