| PekkaNF:
What is the big idea of putting the parts other way out normal order? I sort of get but then again - I don't get it. Something like this: http://www.lathes.co.uk/elliott%20mini%20jig/img8.jpg I think that the Eliot mini jig borer is a beauty and I have collected courage to start planning of building something like it, because original ones are buffed to death and/or silly money.

The "big idea" for doing a different way round is because I have used a milling spindle for the main shaft and I cannot see how to fit a splined shaft to it and the mount for the pulley without having to remake the whole head. Yes, I should have planned it in advance but I didn't. |

It's a dollar a pound out here for scrap aluminum I bought about 40 pounds last year to make some ingots. |
| kayzed1:
What about a spring fither side of the pulley. Lyn. |
| NormanV:
Lucky you Tom, that's half the price I had to pay and I believe that it has gone up since I bought my scrap. Lyn, that's something I hadn't thought of. I can see the value of a spring underneath the pulley to counteract gravity. |
