Igaging Scale Installed!

24/7/2015

Had a "quickie" in the shop before sending Ruth to her class. Whipped out the Bosch power drill and started where I left of few hours ago. I couldn't seem to push in any further after going in a short distance. Tried increasing the speed and finally get to the depth I want.

After this, the rest was a walk in the park...

Tapping the M5 hole. I find that it is so much easier to tap from M4 onwards. Anything smaller, bad bad experience...

Done! I will leave the other end free for now.

The digital readout has magnets behind. Very convenient.

I've to think of a way to deal with the wire, especially when moving the carriage towards the tailstock end. The wire has the tendency to fold into the chip tray. Another thing to look at is some way to cover the scale from chips and coolant. Can't think of anything at the moment.

Hope I can get back to work when I get home later.

Hi Wong

Good to see you back in action on the blog. My mill that I got from you has not been seeing much action too but I hope to change that soon.

All the best!
