over the last few days ive been trying to get some of the little 'gonna do's' done before the year was out. Santa brought me a exrta handwheel so i got on with following your instructions for the leadscrew handwheel... I made a bigger spacer but the temporary thinner one worked so well and turned so smoothly that i left it on.. I will get round to 'running in' the thicker one some day..but for now.... Thanks very much for all your help.. :thumbup: and guidance, :wack: :hammer: :poke:... i know it must be difficult :bang: as we speak in different tongues :drool: :scratch: ....Mike... :wave: |

Thanks Rob! :beer: You're right! I'm just wondering where all the dropped M5 caphead screws have gone to, over the years....... :scratch: Mike. Pleased Santa brought what was needed. That set up is looking good! :thumbup: Help, and guidance? Different tongues? Well..... You know me. I like a challenge....... I'll say no more! :lol: David D |

Hope I can remember how to do this. Some time back I figured out that the safest way to cut threads on small jobs, particularly thos that entail working up to a shoulder, is to use a handle attached to the mandrel and wind it by hand. So here (at last) is my hand powered thread cutting attachment. All I have to do now is get the pics from Photobucket. Here is the device attached. And a couple of close ups. AS you can see, all it is is a rawl bolt and a bit od steel strip. The only part that needed any machining was the keyed part at the end of the bolt. I filed a groove in the end to the mandrel and filed the bolt end to (more or less) fit. Someone remind me how to get pics from PB to this page. Dave, :( Andy, Thanks. Worked as advertised. Now I just have to reduce the size a bit. |

It seems to have changed recently, but the way I do it is to click on the thumbnail pic to see it full size. Then look at the image links on the right; you may have to click "Image Links" to see them. There are four, and it's the one in the bottom box that starts [IMG] that you want. Click inside the box, which should go yellow very briefly and say "Copied". Then come back to the message you are composing here, and Ctrl V paste the link into your text. Previously, I could hover over any of the thumbnails and a drop-down would appear showing the links. That was a bit easier, but doesn't seem to work any more. Andy |
