The Hobby-machinist Die Filer

All parts for the frame and table are complete. All holes are drilled and tapped as required. Now it's a waiting game to get the drive materials. Everything should be here this week.

Bill- I see you drilling those holes on the Clausing that I am considering! I assume that is a 8520? Any issue with the 4.9" Y axis travel in doing that?

No problem on mine, I have a 5 inch riser block on my 8420. I had to take it out this morning for a friend to copy.

Found some scrap in the bin to make the Yoke Guides. Now they are a done deal.

Yoke guides on each side! Now I get the plan. This is looking great.

All set. The left one can move .060 to make up for the slightest misalignment.

The bearing blocks will line up perfect. This wooden mockup proves it. It's gonna start to get crowded in there real quick. LOL

Looks like you need to borrow my unobtainium space adder :grin:

Looking good!
 
Stock arrived for the Bearing Blocks today. Bearing Stock will come in Friday? Also got a set of 8-32 transfer Screws today. Now the Table will easily mount. There are 14 screws holding it down, six are blind holes. Tomorrow will be a looooong day.
