G.Day
Each,
Well i hope its a good day for you,its 37oC at the moment so its too hot
to go into the oven(shed)
Also i tried yesterday to send this post but nothing seemed to happen
when i hit the 'Post' button.
Now i realize that the server could be having problems,but why do i
loose every thing including the attached photos?
Any way here goes again.
I did scan the various leads given me as to the 'Cat head Chuck' issue
but had no luck,maybe i was not doing it right.
So i decided to make a suitable unit to do what i needed,not too
difficult,actually quite easy.
I fount a suitable piece of MS 2" X 4".
Chucked in the Three Jaw and reduced an inch at one end to 42mm,then
cut a thread 1.5mm pitch.
Removed and tasted in the Head Stock for fit,perfect.
Re chuck and bore out the centre to a suitable size.
When setup to bore i placed a stop on the Bed Rails to stop the cutter
1mm from the face of the Chuck.
I did not want the cutter coming into contact with the Three Jaw
Chuck,also it prevented Swarf building up in the Chuck and made a nice
wall to keep the Suds in play during the boreing.
Once i had finished boring out to a suitable size i reversed the item in
the Three Jaw and cut off the 1mm blank from end.
