Should be easy enough. @stoo has made some impressive adaptery things. Mostly drawer runners for @moorey collection of Orange filing cabinets.Have you lads tried turning out end caps for boost hub conversions?
Got a set of tune Prince and Princess hubs that I really really don't want to sell off (mainly because suddenly "old standard" gear isn't worth anything..
I've got some of the spacer shims on order but it struck me that specific caps shouldn't be too hard.
It will get bolted down. The rack on the left has some steel and bits in it and that is swapping places with a set of full width / height shelving in the next bay. That gives me some room behind as the shelving isnt as deep and also lets me steal some space on the right for when a bigger lathe comes along. Will look out for a rotary table and indexing head.Nothing wrong with rong fu for non production work. I bolted mine to the floor and to the wall, cut vibrations down by 90%. I turned up in the lathe a piece of wood just bigger then my RF-25’s post’s ID, and belted it in with a sledgehammer. Then bolted to that. Super stable.
Maybe. Didnt check, sounds right. Did not check, seems odd I have the right drill...Isn't 4.2mm the recommended drill size for an M5 tap?
How does that work Dales? Won’t a coarser thread mean a deeper cut for the bolt threads too, so you’re more prone to snapping the bolt head off when tightening as opposed to stripping threads for a fine pitch fastener?Practically none to be honest. The 1.0 will be a bit stronger than the 0.9 and both a bit stronger than 0.8 but in a 5mm bolt pretty irrelevant.
Core diameter is the same. Pitch varies so fewer threads thus effective width of thread is bigger so more meat. I know I thought it was counterintuitive at uni and our lecturer made us do the calculations. Surprised me. UNC is much stronger than UNF.How does that work Dales?

Thanks mate, I’m schooled now. I think I understand how the core diameter can stay the same, looking at the Wikipedia info on ISO metric threads.Core diameter is the same.

Drills oval holes?Not a mill. Not a lathe.
But an Ozito drill press.
Don’t.
No but it requires good coffee before it operatesDoes it make good coffee?
