Very nice to see your work Andre. A proper, good as new, refurb. Not just a coat of paint! :clap: :clap: Is it assembled and running yet? Any chance of a video? Well done! :thumbup: David D |

Andrey.. Great to see your project its well worth while, i finished a major repair myself lately on my own machine and one of the things i had to do was exactly what your doing, My bevel smashed as its made of this Zymak stuff, so i purchased a steel made set and installed it, it was not all that expensive i just purchased some blanks and drilled the taper hole, made one heck of a difference to the operating of it. This way it would be a repair for life!!!!!!!!!!! I know you live in Australia and get hammered on buying stuff financially but if you wish i could post what i purchased and see if you could do the same there. All the best... Anthony... |
