Are You Nuts??

Needed a big nut for big drawbar to hold keyway cutter on the Rockford 24 inch Hy-Draulic Shaper

It's official. You have the biggest nut I have ever seen.

Good job.

 

[mattthemuppet2]

that's cool! Did you index each face using an angle block/ gauge against the previously cut face? That's a trick worth remembering!

Old timer showed me that trick....set 30 degree angle down on vise after cutting the first flat....bump it to hold the flat lock vise down and cut the 3 sides ....turn 30 degree angle upside down and put each of the first 3 flats against it and cut the other 3 sides...if you look in the pictures in the post you can see this in use for the first 3 sides

At least that one you can not drop on the floor and have it roll down the floor drain. But then if you drop it on the floor it might just go thru the floor.....

I would like to know the story behind that one. What would be the application?

Might be an art piece. Either that or for carburetor (A freakishly large carburetor). Mike
