Right I am back on with this project .
Sat down and made a list of what needs to be done , fairly long list
Thought right lets get the gib adjusters sorted , original ones have slots , really poor idea as you cant get a screwdriver in to adjust the gibs up .
Easy wee project ,,,,,,,,,, mmmmmmm then the crap starts . The pockets are not round ,or concentric with the M6 Tapped hole , some are tapped 20mm and others are 50mm . One is not even fookng straight . bastards.
So I made up a couple of temp adjusters and decided to trial fit the knee.
And as you can see the gib is to long .the lower adjuster is in the pocket .
I need to trim 1/2 of the knee gib so that the adjuster will be in the pocket
Y axis gib needs work to nearly bottoms out in one pocket .
So I thought I would just do a quick test to see how the gibs fit the ways , lost of bad language &^^%$ ((*& &**)))_^%£"(*&
well they touch in a few places
,SO I either mess on trying to fix the crappy tapered gibs , or remachine the ways and fit standard /parallel gibs .
