Hi all, Thanks everyone for a nice welcome. When I find my feet I will try to send a few piccies and also a small video I have made showing my mill and feeds working. Hi Stew yes I found my way here ,thanks for the invite! I mainly like making tools and bits and pieces. Have recently made a couple of carbide tipped facing cutters and dovetailed boring bars. At the moment my latest project is a piston type quick change lathe tool post. Have also made the ball turner. This works pretty good up to 2 inch dia on ally. I made this in mild steel. First attempt in aluminium was a failure it flexed too much. Have also dabbled in telescope parts eyepiece adaptors etc. Hi Ralph now you are talking serious stuff there. I did think of having a go with wheelchair and invalid bed motors but the old windscreen wiper motors fulfill the job nicely. I am surprised at the torque they generate. Here is a nice little link here which explains the computer PSU wiring and also the windscreen wiper http://www.scary-terry.com/wipmtr/wipmtr.htm Mick |

Just got a good look at one tonight so I have a really good idea of how I want to make it work (thanks dreeves!). I got the post made, but still need to finish it off. Tell us about yours. Eric |

Video show was great:- thanks Mick :thumbup: When it comes to electronics and wiring things up I'm a bit of a green horn, when I've got my mill and I'm ready to do the mod I'll be asking lots and lots of questions. :mmr: Cheers :wave: Stew |
