Rob,

Nice work

I have to agree with John - slap some paint on it

Thanks lads

Made a new Y AXIS nut mount today ,,,,,, as i jut could not leave/use the other one .

A bit RT work required






Looks a bit better now.



Plenty of room for the pulley and bearing adjuster nut .


Now i will need to re-bore the hole for the leadscrew to pass through the knee casting ,, as is looks like they used a rotary rat to chew it out .

Words fail me
Have you noticed even the threads are shiney
I would like to see the quality controller from the original manufacturer have a look at this
John

john did you not see the tub of Cotton buds on his windowsill i recon the brasso has bin out or its the white led in the cuting oil only funing rob work is fantastic

Thanks for your comments Lads


I ,,,,I would have been further on if two blokes did not call over to drink coffee ,stopping production

Well i did a bit more tonight set up the knee on the mill for boring . Pleased i made that Box angle plate .


Picked up new centre , that was marked on a temporary plate fitted to the casting . As the new screw centre still lay within the original hole .


Used a hole saw to remove the bulk of the material , quickest way to do it .Always handy to have a good set around the shop for jobs like this .



Finished to size with a boring head .




It needed boring this size for the nut to pass through when fitted to the screw , also the bore will be used as a register for the Y axis bearing block .
