That was basically a total redesign, the OEM method has the screw behind the
post, and 5 pounds of downforce will lock the sled to the post with the
binding. What you see now can put 155 pounds of downforce on a bathroom
scale or a drill bit before that 425 starts cogging..

Keeps me outta the bars, most of the time. As I sit in this chair behind a
monitor entirely too much, if I don't get up and do something, the missus
might not see me till I start smelling up the place.

Unforch Bill, that is a work in progress. The disk is installed on the
lathe, but the rest of it is still just a gleam in my eyes. Methinks the
lathe might get replaced with a bigger, stiffer, more conventional one before
I put much more effort into that bowl of jello. In which case I'll probably
have to adjust that file to make it bigger. It was quite a trick to get all
that inside the clearances of a 7x12's end housing and the photocells will
need to be tiny ones and will have to be adjusted very carefully at that
scale. Some carefull reading of the ngc code should show where it needs to
be scaled up and so on. That basic code I got from the linuxcnc site, and
that code makes a much larger wheel than mine does.
