Its the grumpy old man again, I have a very good machinist
who uses drill rod in the requested size, and turns the shaft
between centers, for, the amazing sum of five dollars!
I request a least a 90 percent thread and get it every time.
If you require his services send me a drawing and I get back
to you asap.
OK, thanks. John has already glued the soundboard down, so it may be too
late to make some of these changes. But if a truer rod would improve things
without extending the shaft to the head side of the wheel hole, I could
certainly see investing five bucks. I am going to pass all this info on to
John in any case.
As for roller bearing, don't, they make all kinds of noise, just look
for
the Teflon bearing sleeves at a Lowes or Home Depot they work fine.
The kit actually came with nylon bushings -- I think this is a change from
the set-up Alden/Cali described, which sounded like the shaft just ran
through wood. It would be a simple enough matter to change these out if the
Teflon is better. Someone else recommended delrin.
I have issues with both the wheel assembly and key-box resting on or
connecting to the sound board, and build so that neither touch the
sound board.
Where do you anchor the keybox then?
