I can't do work like that in CAD, looks like a cool project. Any chance you will be making the drawings available when your done. I've always thought a die filer would be a great tool in the shop.

Yes Shawn, I will have them available when the project is completed. I have a friend that will put them on a disc for me. Be advised this will not be the Die Filer you see all the time. The table alone will be 16" X 16". Reduction will be 6:1 giving 270 Strokes per minute. If you choose a DC Motor you can make it variable. I may go DC myself.

I worked out the Trunions for the Tilt Table yesterday. They will be drawn up today.

The initial Prints for the Die Filer are finished. I will build from these and make any necessary changes along the way. Four days work.

I'd be willing to draw them up in CAD if that 's of any interest to anyone.

I'm interested if it is in AutoCAD or some freeware CAD program.

Thanks,

My CAD program can export DXF and DWG files which just about all CAD programs can import. The CAD program I use is Solid Edge 2D and it's free.

Had to get my hands dirty again, enough of that wimpy wood stuff. 
Started building a work stop for my non Kurt vice, but I think I stole they're design. Machined the arm out of a 1 inch square of mystery stainless. Not bad to work with, work hardens a bit if you don't keep the feed on. Here's a good example of non stress relieved metal. The clamp bolt definitely won't rattle when its slacked off a bit.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Good morning everyone. It is just 7 degrees out there this morning.

Ed, how do I get the prints to you. A few pages are too big for me to scan?
