I know this work was done a long time ago but wouldn't a lot of the parts been better off if they were pre lubed with assembly grease?

Did you use lube on seatpost? That will cause creaking no matter what post is used with out it. Nice looking setup there. What floor material did you use? Is it dove tailed or finger jointed? What was the reasoning/benefits of methodology?

I was able to interpret your exceptional video and install a power feed on my Rockwell mill. I am a relative newbie to machining. Prior to this project I hadn't: bored to a precise diameter; cut an interior keyway or even heard of a woodruff key. So, it was quite a journey, but I was so elated when I got the axis to move, I felt the need to thank you and express my appreciation for your fine work I deconstructed the limit switches. They are conventional NC momentary switches. I have some DRO stuff in the way, So I bought two panel-mountable momentary pushbutton switches and I'll design and build a housing that will work. Anyway thanks again for the inspiring video!

Hey Burton, great videos. I'm almost finished rehabbing my 21-100 and have a question for you. Did you remove the step pulley from the motor? If so, was it difficult to put back on? To me it seems like an interference fit and I'm thinking I'll have to heat the pulley to get it back onto the motor shaft but am looking around for wisdom before going that route. Thanks.
@BurtonsAttic Жыл бұрын
Hey Ray- Yes I did. The vert motor has a set screw thru one of the pulley grooves. The horz is press fit but is strong enough to handle a three jaw pulley. I general with step pulleys if it's difficult to come off you need a fixture/collar type setting up with a puller to get it off without causing damage to the pulley. If the pulley material is thin don't use a three jaws!
@Ray-tl7pg Жыл бұрын
@@BurtonsAttic hmmm ok. I got the pulley off (with *much* persuasion, which I figured was just corrosion effects) but can't get it back on. May have to get it reamed out a tad.

@@BurtonsAttic in case you're curious: turns out the motor shaft was a bit mushroomed (0.003"). I'm surprised that happened since when I was hitting it with a drift to separate them, the shat was always inside the pulley. But whatever, sanding down the shaft and also cleaning up the pulley bore with a 5/8 reamer (by hand) has corrected the fit. Now to figure out why the forward contactor circuit stopped working last night...

You can deflate the tire, then it just squeezes up....Put a strap around it to secure it fully....Not a problem with the tire being deflated, and use a cheap electric tire pump that goes to 100 psi if you need it.. Just another option if people don't wish to relocate the spare..

The spring loaded pull out apron fill is near the bottom left on my apron. Under the hand wheel. You pull it and insert an oil can nozzle and fill. You can’t overfill it because the excess will spill over the side.
