Re: Steering wheel adapter
I would have left the parting for last when you had all the boring done. Does the hole still go clear through since you could grip the part on the outside so the parting doesn't need to be so deep? Are you making the larger section of hole at what is the tailstock end so there is still a good place to hold the material as it now sits? Just after I sent my last post I realized it's possible you could pass the bolts through the mounting parts and have nuts in the space between the flanges eliminating the need for any tapping and a little less thickness for the flanges.

Re: Steering wheel adapter
I didn't get a 3d printer yet so hopefully the part I make fits correctly.? He was planning to drill and tap the holes for a through bolt or potentially tap the holes himself but I may offer to do that.? I will probably remove the part to cut close to final length in the bandsaw next.? I used a parting tool to a depth of about .800 so I could get a feel for how it would do in deep cuts.? I want to try another parting blade with a slightly different grind.? I would really like to get almost to a depth of 1.7 without breaking something.

The flanges are needed for bolting on the wheel and the shaftIf Robert is correct and the flanges are for bolts will you have enough room between the flanges to get the bolts in? It would seem the one end would need a pretty long bolt for how thick the flange is. Unless one flange has tapped holes you would also need to miss the bolt head of the bolts you first installed. That problem could be solved by centering one set of holes about the gap between holes at the other end. Paul M |

Re: LMS screwup is fixed

I got a call from LMS today that explained what happened. I had asked my belt drive conversion to be sent to my cousins in Rochester New Hampshire to save the very high New York sales tax. But LMS sent the order to a customer in California whose order was in the same sized box and the labels got mixed up.? He returned it to them, and they resent it to New Hampshire after some delay. But in the meantime, I'd gotten a notice of cancelation AND I got my money back, so I figured that order was gone for good and ordered another one, asking it to be sent to my home address. But my cousin told me that the one to NH arrived a couple?of days ago, and I'm visiting there next?week and can pick it up then. LMS is sending me a gift certificate to compensate me for my "ordeal," but I told them it was more like a sit-com. So the problem is solved.?

Re: New fix to dead motor Controller (old HF 33684, bought about 1999)
开云体育Jim, YES, they do, at least from France. The Paypal option appeared after the first payment I did with
Paypal. I seem to recall that I had to request the seller to pay
through Paypal. I paid an extra fee of less than one Euro to link
my Paypal account. Then, every time I bought from them, the Paypal
option took precedence. For 3 or 4 months, they have a very bad habit however: AliPay
being an "intermediate client" of Paypal and priviledged with
Aliexpress, the link between Paypal and AliPay is established by
default after a payment is done. Unless the link is manually
removed in the options menu of Paypal, it remains and no password
is requested for the next order. I recently called Paypal and they
said that they can't do anything by themselves, I have to contact
AliPay, that of course don't reply! So don't forget to remove the
link when Paypal has paid AliPay ! On 05.01.22 22:39, Jim wrote:

Re: O rings to replace spring tensioners in cross slide dial?
Thanks for the link to the chart.? I'm defiantly going to save that.?
I think I'm going to give the O-rings a shot.? It sounds like it works for some and not for others so I'm going to hope I'm in the "it works" camp.
I'm not a fan of the set screw sticking out either but using a wrench all the time to adjust the compound slide one is a bit pain so that's going to get the thumb screw.? I guess I could remove the screw and cut a grove to put a ring in though... that's something to think about too.? I'm doing a thrust bearing mod on the screw now to take the backlash out now though so it would be easier to do all at once.
Thanks!
Ryan

Re: O rings to replace spring tensioners in cross slide dial?
Ryan,
I did a modification to my 7x16 minilathe a few years ago extending the cross slide travel. As a part of this mod I purchased a new satin chrome cross slide micrometer dial from LMS. I bored a counterbore into the backside of the dial to accept a 1/16” cross section O-ring and sized it for a friction fit. I assembled it with a bit of white Lubriplate grease. It has been working out fine ever since final assembly. I considered using a knurled screw and I am sure that would work well also, but didn’t want the knob projecting from the side. The 9” South Bend lathe used a slotted set screw that was flush and did not project although it required a small screw driver and was not convenient to use. |
