Rivett 608 Traverse Milling attachment checking accuracy
Рет қаралды 555
Күн бұрынI was really pleased with the accuracy, the original spindle is amazingly accurate!
In the UK these milling attachments are very unusual and I was pleased to be able to find one, even though it needed a lot of work. The standard of design and workmanship is outstanding, they are elegantly fashioned from cast iron and superbly scraped with thankfully most of the scraping marks still clearly visible. They were a huge price $390 in 1944 or $125 in 1901.
This attaches to my Rivett 608 on the saddle when the cross slide is removed. Still needs some extra work to motorise it.

Paul the chuck is not really the limiting factor. However the column of the device does limit the size of gear wheel that can be cut. The best solution would be to have the column offset towards the front of the lathe with a tall column. I will have a go at making some raising blocks to fix to the ends of the column increasing then height by 2 inches. Apart from that limitation it is a fantastic accessory to have. John

if you used a collet chuck in the lathe, rather than the big 3 jaw, would you be able to get closer to it when cross drilling etc?
