Good going Dan you've nearly got all the parts done. Nice looking base. . Stew |
| Dan The Man:
Tapping stand or Lathe Only ? |
| Dan The Man:
Back to work on the tapping stand Right, so instead of using the rack and pinion we used the measurer on the front to support the chuck. We used the bracket from the shield but first taking the Perspex off . After we reassembled the spring mechanism on the front we realised that the spring was too strong so we are getting a new one. That is easier to push from above. |
| Dan The Man:
Be careful when taking out the rack and pinion however. :doh: :doh: :doh: |
| Dan The Man:
Now instead of turning our own part that drives the tap, we used the old pulley, but first we needed to adapt it by sawing off one of the grooves. We then drilled a 6mm hole and inserted a bar in the top, so you can push down and turn the tap with more force. Here is the concept in an image. :smart: . BTW to secure the pulley back on the shaft we reused the little bolt in the side of the pulley. |
