Nice looking job there Stew, I have some RT work to do soon, could you show how you held the part on the RT again? I think you had an MT2 arbor in the RT with a thread in the end of it to attach things. Is that right :scratch: |

Darren It wasn't a full M2 taper it was just a small stub with a M5 thread, that long screw went into, the Job was fastened to this from the other side again with a M5 screw, I'll try and post some more photos and a Crap O Cad later. I'm on domestic duties at the moment mucking out and changing the straw in the house. Cheers Stew |

Hi I hope this makes it a bit clearer I'm just about to set up the table to do the cylinders so I do a more detailed step by step write up. Basically what I'm doing is making the set up mandrel a lose fit in the M2 taper, just nipping it up with the clamp bolt so that it will move with a tap, clocking it up true, tightening it up, then clamping the RT to the mill. I've probably not bean clear on this if you think about it you can set the job up true on the RT away from the mill you can do it in the next county if you want, as long as is doesn't move in transit. When you do write up likes this its nice when people ask questions and give you feed back it makes the effort all worth while, so thanks for asking Darren :thumbup: Cheers Stew |
