Thanks Bob! So simple. So easy. Once you've finally taken the time to do what needs to be done........ :dremel: Dave Other. Re the washer......I used a Nikken tilting rotary table for many years, in an earlier life. This locked at angle, with worm drive, and a ring spanner. Rather more secure than the pifflin' handle supplied with this little un! Oh dear! You got a Friday afternooner..... :palm: :bang: Thankfully, mine trams parallel to the m/c table when down, and now, parallel in Y when at 90*. :thumbup: The lock up, pulls the table sideways on the pin...... So, my idea was to machine the rear of the (tapered) quadrant casting, and insert a spacer. I tried to remove the very tight pivot pin, but gave up when I realised I was in danger of breaking the castings........ Also, the cast slot in the quadrant did not match the arc of the lock screw, so I had to do some filing. I used a 5/16" thermostat housing stud. Which I also had to file a clearance flat....... Frankly, I'm happy with it....... No delusions of grandeur here! :D The boring through/ sine bar idea sounds a good un! :smart: David D |

Last one...... For now. Probably! :) I modded my present mini mill, straight out of the box. Including an LMS belt drive...... http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=4754.0 The revs are too high for my liking. Will gear down a bit, one day. The problem, for me is a lack of free spinning spindle, for clocking purposes. The pulleys clash together, before there is enough belt slack. It needs a longer belt. But, they're not available over here! ........ Unless someone knows differently....... :scratch: After a few quiet words, with a Gentleman in Idaho. A 1" longer version arrived. The one on the left....... The longer belt gave just sufficient slack. But was too long to adjust to drive mode. Needs a 1/2 " rearward spacer. Alloy bar, 1.5" dia x 1" high. Two holes. Should be 1/4UNC, probably! I've only got BSW......... Slim it down, a bit........ Installed........ The belt just clears the flange, before the pulleys contact........ Working well. Just enough clearance when slackened....... 1/4" of movement left, when driving. :thumbup: David D |

Just when I thought it was all over, and I could re-start the Maiwald fiasco..... DAaad! Can you just, bend something, to look like this? :) Only narrower, to fit my new phone....... Pleese! "Not really. Without it looking very home made. I'll think about it". :smart: Could machine one. From solid! :thumbup: Piece of alloy. 40mm dia x 70mm long. Drew the relevant angles. Started roughing........ Open slot, to around 11.5mm...... Mill base........ Approach angle in throat. Top the step, parallel to base........ Chunky.......... Fits a treat....... Even, stable in vertical mode....... I enjoyed a bit of proper milling, and No. 1 son's pleased. That will do nicely! :D David D |
