Stuff you have made today

[mtt.tr]

Now have one fitted to my bike, apart from the ugly bolt head, oem ones are reduced hex flanged but as I have the riser I made I needed longer so just standard head. I will hopefully be able to source some reduced head ones.

Given the membership here it could easily be either

Not all is southern lot are haters.

No I'm actually impressed

Can't compete with China, material costs me more than they sell stuff for.

Don't worry, they'll soon be sanctioned up to the hilt and unable to export anything !

Made a tramming jig for the VMC - Spindle tomorrow, and doneView attachment 386571

Never seen the point of using two dial gauges to tram a head when one works perfectly fine…

make them, perhaps ...?!?

I had considered it, even just milling down a standard bolt would have done but found some nice ones for less than it would be for my time

But yours would be unique & in keeping with the flow of the upgrades.

2 rod ends and a barrel adjuster - took me less than 5 mins to get the tram bob on! Well chuffed

Only get out on it at the weekends but done this in about 9 months.

O sorry I might need glasses.

Some spacers

First two were the new steel off someone on here, good stuff. The other two are en3 mild steel gummy poo, which was unpleasant for parting.

I met @Onoff earlier in the week and he gave me a helical milling jig to try out. The spacers are to raise it 40mm to be on lathe center height.

Interested to try it! First attempt is going to be aluminium, and if it goes well, I will have something to anodise. Im not sure how well I can mill stainless but I found a bit of 316 I can try it with too.

Wasn't the A303 from me was it? That's supposed to be free machining I believe.

Go for it btw, I like to think I'm bring cheap helical milling to the masses!

Do you have Specsavers down there?

 

[MattF]

Not my finest work, but knocked a couple of brackets up, as replacements for the green one. No flat bar, so had to cut strips from a piece of 5mm plate. The press-brake never even broke a sweat on those. First time I've given it a proper run.
