My Sunday morning Chuckle. ;-) And of course I had to bite. Score one for Tomp. Thats the "Rags in a Box", I am referring to, a huge center dispensing roll of heavy paper towels. Bounty is nice around the house, but not in the same league as these. Box is some over 1.25 cu/ft, about a tenner a box. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ubtg3wnvQc [...] But I still need to come up with a cover to keep the swarf off the X screw. I'll post a pair of pix showing the crossfeed movement range at some point. The problem is that when backed out, the end of the crossfeed can come beyond the front of the apron far enough that it hits the pulley driving the screw. And while not ultimately usefull, the nut does clear the beds rear V-way by 10 thou or so, which at the toolpost is at least 2" over centerline. The toolpost mount itself can be adjusted, a whole lot easier than the OEM compound angle could ever be. I made more room for the wrench on those Armstrong bolts so now I can use a box end wrench on their nuts. By that time I'll have set a soft limit to keep the nut from running into the cover over the rear of the saddle, bolted on by the bolts that did mount the taper attachment to the rear face of the saddle. The Z screw has a pair of long, fairly close fitting rubberized bellows fitted over it so its well sealed against swarf ingress. Thats why the extra machining in the nut holder, I only used 4 bolts, with the center bolthole of each triplet being drilled thru and some air passage slots milled into the 2 clamping nipples so those two bolt-holes are the air passage around the ball nut when its moving fast, fast being about 90 ipm with this motor and piss poor driver. I should'a made a box on the bottom of the Z nut holder, with a removeable cover, then I could have put a packet of silica gel in it to absorb any humidity sealed into it. Hind sight, 20-05 of course. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
