Hi Richard, good luck with the slotter, I've been meaning to make one for my Logan lathe for a long time, but too much work gets in the way of working on the machines, sometimes. I tend to fix them, and do upgrades at the same time, when they break, or a job comes and I need a feature, and decide to get it done while I've got a good excuse to work on the machines. I've seen four or five different versions of slotters just in this site, and they all look better than the way I've been doing the occasional key way. I should have done the slotter when I had to make a new PTO clutch for my 53 Cub tractor. A new one wouldn't have worked, with both shafts worn with rounded ends of the splines, and the old one was equally worn, and stopped staying in. making one meant getting to make its slots match the worn splines, and fit snugly on the worn diameter, but it took forever using just the carriage. I look forward to your project log when you get to that slotter. :thumbup: :thumbup: mad jack |
