Looking for a better mag base

Hey, leave me out of this! I've been away for the past month or so.... so I have no idea what you guys are talking about!

Damn dragons!

Aluminum t-slot covers. I hate cleaning t-slots.

Yes, they help out a lot

a lot of people sell them, mine are from Grizzly, I’ve had mine for years, new number is T1166.

Dangit. Now I have to get some of those.

STOPPPPPPPPPP Already. Nothin' but instigators.

Are they sold by the width of the T slot? I see a lot of 5/8, but I believe I have 9/16 slots on my millrite (I'll have to check). I know I had to mill down my 5/8 T nuts to work.

I am thinking yours are 14mm slots. 9/16=.5625. 25.1mm/inch. .5625x24.1=14.11mm

I doubt it, my mill predates metric in the United States

Grizzly

#T1165 - 14 mm/9/16”
#T1166 - 16 mm/5/8”
#T1167 - 18 mm/.7087 (11/16”+)

Awesome, thanks! The part numbers really help! To be particularly greedy: I'm guessing noone carries 5/16" ones that stay below the surface? I'm running a 2 part vise on my shaper, and noticed that the T slots just FILL with chips!

EDIT: I notice Grizzly actually has 10 and 12 mm as well! Sadly, no 8mm, so my shaper is just going to have to deal.

No worries, we can supply a list of soup kitchens in your area.

Here is a really nice shop made indicator holder along with a tutorial of the thoughts going into the design and full instructions on how to make it:

You guys are gonna make me go broke. Just bought that Noga listed earlier from Mikey. "oooohhh I likey. Click Buy Now. Done".

I hear you! I've been shovelling money out the door like I'm stoking the firebox of a steam locomotive!!!
(there should be a warning at the door... mind you there were many mentions of "oohh we can help you spend your money" from @mikey @mmcmdl @darkzero @Aukai and a raft of others, hoodlums, all of em! )

Wait until you get your hands on a PH2040 and see how fast and easy it is to use and how rigid it is. Then you'll see why this stand has become my go-to stand. Yup, I admit that I enjoy spending your money but I try hard not to waste it.
