| Making "same length" pillars with no DRO? |

I found the same Chris, after your initial post I tried a few searches on this site but Bogs thread never came up. Just tried again and there it was :scratch: It also threw up this thread which has a different design of backstop http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=1675.0 HTH Jim |

Hi Chris Just been making the colums for my marine engine I just measure then use the compound scale (it is easy between centres as you can get the vernier on both ends) John |

I have never tried this but the idea came to me as I was reading this thread. I assume that the actual length is not super critical just that all the pillars must be cock on the same length. How about equalising the lenghts by screwing one end on to a face plate. Fix all the pillars to the faceplate at the same time and then face off the the ends simultaniously. They are bound to be all the same length then. The cut taken will depend on the diameter of the end of the pillar and the fixing screw size and the length of the pillar. I guess if the aspect ratio of the pillars was great you could arrange some sort of support between them to make the whole bag of mashings more ridgid. Just a thought. |

If it's possible go chuck them both up at once in your 4 jaw chuck you can face them at the same time. Depends on the dimensions etc though. |
