Re: 71/2pitch

2009-12-22 Thread MACSWAG
Hello chaps,what a dimo I am,I had it right all along,what I was
expecting was a long extended pitch,like a single strip of seven and a
half inches,instead it was cutting around for the length of that
71/2,just like a normal twist, if that makes sense,I want to make an
elongated twist with just two bines so the pitch I need is in the
2xgears.which I will buy in the new year,to near Xmas.now,thanks for
your postings,keep chippin,MAC.

 Have a look at the chart to see if you are in the same ballpark with the

 very specific spot on the gear that you will be able to align it back to
 when it comes around on it's first rotation.  As it lines up, measure
 the distance your carriage moved from the block on the rail.  If you are
 not sure if you can be so precise,   crank the handle until there has
 been 4 revolutions of the stock and measure the distance and divide by 4
 as an average.  This will tell you if you are really making the pitch
 you think you should be doing.  Confused yet?

 of the chaps looking in please chip in if you so feel,I would love to
 have the 2xmultiplier set but will have to wait till next year
 now,also the 4xmultiplier gear though looking at that on their site
 it
 doesn't look any different from the standard set-up with the reverse
 or left hand spiral gears,the picture is not to good,is there another
 gear tucked in behind the large middle gear,any info please post,MAC.

I thought it might have been something like that like I said in my posting 
it can be something silly we just overlook
I know I still do from time to time I'm sure there are a few jobs from us 
all warming us at night in the fire
