    That's a nice thing to have. I hate with a passion having to adjust my boring head to fine tolerances. That doover would make it almost a joy to use!

    Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

    Hi Simon,
    It is a joy to use, I been trying it out and it takes out all of the doubt,as long as you have a established an accurate reading on the existing hole you can adjust in an exact amount, take a cut and check confirming your reading. You can repeat the same cut and check. Like all metal removal you do have to allow for tool pressure and take a spring cut before dialing in your final cut.If you set the dial gauge to zero before doing the adjustment if you overdo the movement you can back up and reset with no backlash issues.The tool is not very complicated to make, have a go,I am sure you will enjoy using it.

    Another stop, but this time for the milling vice. Inspired by Tom Lipton (Oxtoolco on YouTube).

    Guide pins are 4mm rollers out of a needle roller bearing.

    Nice job.
    I made several of these up years ago with chromed hardened pins and oil blackened them. Sent Stuart one from this forum, at first he didn't know what I sent him taped to his tubing he bought.

    They have been available from the US out of China for at least 15 years, and when I made mine they where only $6US, but as usual the postage kills us.

    Default Re: Your latest project, small claim mine shaft collar covers.

    I've been making covers for my small claim sapphire mine shaft collars.
    Latter after we can travel more than 50 k's (my claim is 65 k's away) I'll increase the height of the collars and make the covers so they can hinge and have one padlock one each shaft.

    Nice job on the mill vise stop, I am sure you will find it handy. I made one of a different design a few years ago, I added a coil spring fitted around the locking bolt to keep the jaws in ready to use position.

    Default CNC upgrade for BF20LV Mill

    Finally managed to cut some metal on my Optimum BF20LV CNC conversion.

    I made a lifting support and jack stands.

    2.jpg Width can be adjusted between 570 to 800 mm. Allows optimal placing for the support.

    Skirt lifting pads are made from rubber.

    Allows changing both tires from the side with one lift.
    I need to change tires to three cars every spring and autumn, this makes it much faster.

    This post will be a bit like the movie The Castle's line. I dug a hole.

    Yesterday, I milled a snapped off bolt out.

    Sure as hell beats the trusty cordless drill, 8" shifter and a set of ezi-outs Richard.

    Just another simple tooling project - some tap drivers for M8 and M10 taps - as I finally got sick of taps slipping in the chuck.

    I made them 16mm and 20mm outside diameter with the intention of being able to use them in either ER32/40 collets, but the 16mm will also fit in a drill chuck.
    Drill a hole to match the shank diameter, but only as deep as the plain length of the tap. Mill a slot in the remaining section to the size of the tap drive flats then slit it down the side.

    Thanks guys. Wish I could claim the idea as mine, but it’s definitely not.
