« Last post by hermetic on Today at 11:39:55 AM »Hi Folks,
A varied week in which the heat exchanger is completer, the fault on the rise and fall column from last week is found, and in order to get the old bench in the Blacksmiths shop removed, I make and fit some metal racks to the wall to store my vast collection of interesting bits of metal! I also Became a Dong farmer (qv) for a couple of hours, and a dog food delivery man, but thats another story!

The Water Cooler / MEM down
« Last post by Jo on April 25, 2024, 12:23:05 PM »Sorry Guys we are having problems with MEM today. 
I've sent AdeV a PM and text so hopefully he will soon be aware and be able to get us up and running again.

Tools / Re: Measuring backlash on rotary table
« Last post by Dell on April 25, 2024, 03:47:56 AM »It seems that backlash compensation is done by going back how ever many steps set in settings then forward to position but as philf said I should normally only be going in one direction most of the time.

A very short week of one day! due to busy commitments on all other fronts, but next week should be a full one! I finalise the design for the heat exchanger and get it about 3/4 finished. Amazing how these back of the head designs suddenly come together and start to make sense!

Haven’t done any more recently due to having a few clocks to service but hopefully now I have caught up I can get back onto it, I want to be able to cut clock wheels & pinions .

Then I don't think you need to worry about compensating for backlash as you'd generally be working in one direction only and could lock the rotary table (which I assume you can use vertically as well as horizontally.)
