As soon as I read your message, I burst into side splitting laughter
Fortunately, I never owned or wore a Safari Suit
My youngest daughter is visiting this weekend & I know she will get a laugh out of this.
Thanks again for insight & memories, just as a matter of interest did you ever own a Safari suit,or were they way before your time..... ie the Johnny O Keefe, Brian Henderson, Bandstand,etc
regards
Bruce

Course not. I'm ten years younger than you. Yes JOK was around along with Henderson's Bandstand. I grew up with Billy Thorpe. Started off with Somewhere Over The Rainbow then progressed to Million Dollar Bill. Loved those times Bruce. The 70's, sidies, moes, black footy shorts and not a care in the world. I'm getting misty.....

Double knit pants, white shoes and belts. Massive Joe Stalin moustache and burns, muscle cars, chain smoking, serial monogamy (only ever one at a time unless under duress), bra burning, gun running in Nicaragua. Sigh.

I'm getting real misty now.

Platform shoes, long hair, 'V' knee jeans and a bracelet.
Oh yeah, and a big dose of therapy to try and figure out what the hell I was thinking.

Phil

For me the therapy didn't happen until the 80's, but the clothes! I even had platform shoes in one brief flirtation with Trixie, my first girlfriend. That must have been 1970. I was 6' 6" at the time ( less now)*

*some co-workers wanted to drag me into a bar in Manilla called " Hobbits" Staffed exclusively with Filipino dwarves. I thought that my being there would have been gratuitously cruel, so I demurred. We went to see a Brady Bunch tribute band instead.

Leather jackets. Martinis when being stylish, Sangria when courting those earnest literature majors in Uni, beers by the jug when with the boys. Pickled eggs at the bar swimming in a huge jar of something unspeakable. Getting a haircut at the barber who had gun magazines. And "Private Eye".

#### food, #### coffee, #### clothes, #### cars, #### tyres. Being invincible. And bullet proof. Taking nothing seriously. Nothing.

Thanks boys...

Hi Bob, I had a look at mine and there would be about 10mm in it at the most. The top of mine is recessed in like the one below.


I know you have had this problem a few times, could you fit a riser to your mill?

Dave

Not on the 13 Dave. I certainly don't have the mechanical prowess to devise a riser that would raise the horizontal spindle assembly. Schaublin's answer was to offer a larger mill.

Some 13 ( and Deckel ) owners have fitted an intermediate plate between the vertical face of the longitudinal slide and the table with secondary table mounting holes set down lower to provide more table to spindle clearance. A neat idea but one requiring larger capacity machines than I have to machine such a plate.

Hence the desire to nibble away at the tooling I use.
