| 626 Mill Riser Block |

Probably cut it off to length and used tube held with conventional external jaws expanded up on the tube bore. Been 15 years since scrapped my highly modded ML7 1hp, fairly sure 6" wont clear cross slide for o/d turning or have the power, just facing off and must have took an eternity. Standard motor you would have to push start 2ft x 91mm o/d tube. Theres ways to face off longer than crs. |

I wonder if anyone has tried making a tubular version like this? http://bedair.org/Mill/6760mill1.html I found the picture of the Myford turning a riser. It was bolted to a face plate and appeared on the Yahoo 626 group. |

Just put a spacer block on the Bligeport [ Taiwanese clone ] It's the same as a Bridgy one, in fact it came off my old Bridgy and before that it was resting in Mr Mawson's emporium of slightly soiled goods. I did have to have the register skimmed by about a mill as it wouldn't quite fit. Only problem now is I used to have a small pallet to stand on to swap tools, now It need two. Pre the riser block. Post riser block. Incidentally if you wind the ram forward as far as it will go and bolt a hollow box table to the mill table and then to the ram, once the 4 bolts are removed the kneee is more than capable of lifting the head and ram so you can slide the spacer in. Bit this on the old bridgy and also did it on this one which is actually bigger than a bridgy in size and weight and this also has a slotting head on the back end. Thanks again for the faceplate trick, that will speed things up no end but safely. |

Glad to hear you kept that riser John :thumbup: I've yet to fit the one I kept back - how many years ago was it ? :bugeye: Being a short arse you'll need to wear your high heels to change tools :lol: |
