Hi Rob,

I noticed your 3d Model at the beginning of your Topic. Which CAD package did you use, I was wondering? Regards, Paul

[Rob.Wilson]

Hi Paul 

The 3D model was done in Solidworks 


Been a bit slow in the shop over the past few days ,not allot done ,, mounted the arm to the mill table ,,, making sure that it was nice and level and making sure it was clamped evenly , so that it was not distorted by the clamping ,,,that would be no good as when the clamping force was removed the bores would come out all to cock .


facing the underside so that its square to the bore



Cheers Rob

Well done Rob  ; Glad you got some shop time 

 , Arnold

....I'll have to get or make myself some of those (01-10-11)₂ blocks; they seem right nifty for a clamp-down!

I think I need to build something like this one day, but when I do, I'm not going to fiddle about with one of
these puny jobs like you're showing us here, Rob.  I wanna be able to sit on it, too.

I can see i am  not going to here the last about the size of this thing  
Rob

No, s'pose not! 

 
 

[Gerhard Olivier]

Rob please explain how you faced the edge with a boring tool???

Or am I just misunderstanding?

Gerhard

[Rob.Wilson]

  Hi Dean 


Hi Gerhard

No your not missing something ,,, i should have said the i used a boring and facing head to do the job    , my B/H has the capability  to face off the job , cut grooves and do under cutting and tapered bores   

You attach a bar to the feed ring witch you keep hold of and the head feeds in/out until it hits the stop , witch cuts the feed   ,, also fitted with rapid return 
 

Rob

[Gerhard Olivier]

Thats very handy

Thanks for explaining

Nice Job Rob  - yes; "industrial" should cover it...

You're in a bit of a sticky position now... What colour are you going to paint it ? - I know you have gray, but on a green DP  ?

 , Arnold

[Dean W]

Bulletproof is how I'd put it, Rob.  Looks great!
