| John Rudd:
Just be careful in sourcing your spare gears.... Not all mini mills are the same as I said earlier.....spindle diameters are the major point....the plans that I used for my belt job were for one version and I found my spindle dims to be different so had to make adjustments on the fly...... |
| PJW:
Ok John, I will check the sizes before i start cutting metal, I will have plenty of time as I have to order all the materials as I have no stocks., Peter |
| PJW:
What belts do you use & are they easy to obtain?? :coffee: |
| John Rudd:
The belts should be readily available..... I got my stock from a local bearing factors. Anyone that is an Optibelt stockist should carry or be able to obtain them.... IIRC they were around £5......I'm still on my first belt after around 7 years of abuse using my machine..... Check this out, third post down.....some pics I took of mine..... http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/f28/mini-mill-belt-conversion-5831/ In fact even better look here.....closer to home :D http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,1393.msg12620.html#msg12620 |
| PJW:
Hi John, I sent you an email for the plans, My machine is very similar to yours, but the motor is different, my motor is like the one shown below your pictures in the red miller. Once again thank you for the plans & when they arrive I will start to order the ally for it, Peter |
