Saddle Stop Indicator Mount

Jonny:
Nice job there my M300 came with a steel one but double clamp, came in handy 5 weeks ago and fitted in a round about fashion to the 140.

Never got round to making a carriage stop but will do with a capstan indexing arrangement for various operations.
I am currently working on a cross slide twin stop doubling up as a swarf protector for the DRO currently finishing off.

Kenneth,

Try this place Caswell Plating. I know it's on the right coast but it's a start.

I've always wanted to try anodizing also.

hi Kenneth - I posted a few notes in this thread which may be useful.

DeereGuy:
Kenneth,
The link that Dave posted gives you a very good run down on what it takes.

What chemicals do you have and what are you going to use for a power supply?

Jonny:
Think this deserves a topic on its own.

Had a binge at anodising for a few years but couldnt get the colouring right. No way of knowing until job completed and sealed.
Many a time had loss of contact - creates an oxide build up even wedging in aluminium tapers.
Two PSU's 0-30V ones a twin output digi 10A paked up twice, the others a cheapy from Maplin 0-30V analogue.

Havent done any anodising since my son broke the 4ft fish tank holding several gallons of sulphuric acid 19%. Steel doors didnt last long :clap:
Hydrochloric 33% is the one, that stings.

Dyes was a nightmare nothing worked tried the lot, in the end had to fork out for the proper powder.
