... snip Another thing I'm curious about. I haven't used a D1-4 Camlock before and I can't seem to find information on how to use it. I did find the specifications: http://www.tools-n-gizmos.com/specs/Lathe_Spindle_Mount.html but mine is a little different than the one shown in the link above. The linked spindle shows the cam is just clockwise of the chuck pin puller hole. Mine is counter clockwise which suggests that the locking motion is different. > http://wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/Tida_Samson_TD-1336_lathe/IMG_1774-1a.JPG Looking closer, the example chuck plate is like mine. The spindle picture suggests righty-tighty (clock-wise-tighty), the chuck example and my lathe suggest counter-clock-wise-tighty. Do D1-4 mounts go both ways? Also, I found information that the pull pins need to be adjusted so that the cams will detent when tight. Any help clearing this up would be appreciated. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
