1. Yes the red "thing" is the knob used to adjust
the resistance.
?
2. Its about 1/4 turn so there is still some
resistance & 1/2 turn lets it go fairly loose.
?
3. The reason you can't mount it that way is the
hydro unit will be in the way when long stock is clamped in the vise due to the
plumbing of the unit.
?
I have seen the hydro units mounted in front by
using the bolts on the gear box & bolted to the frame but I can't find the
site I saw it on.

On 4 X 6 Cheap

Rod;
Nine
bucks !? That's pretty cheap, all right, and has me a whole lot
more
excited about yet another modification to a machine.?
(
My wife keeps asking "yes, that's nice dear, but when are you actually
going to make something with your tools, instead of just
them
all the time?")
A few questions, if I may.
1. I guess
the big red "thing" is part of a valve, used to adjust the
hydraulic
resistance, right ?
2. If so, how much rotation of the
knob is required to go from free to "as
stiff as you'd ever
need".
3. Could the whole setup have been fabricated such that the
cylinder lays
flat, in roughly the same position and orientation as the
spring ?
You see, just yesterday I came up with a nice square stand
that JUST fits a
particular space in my very cramped shop.? The stand
is about 16 x 24 x 20"
high.? ( It was 28 inches high, but 3 hours of
cutting followed by 2 minutes
of welding cut it down to 20 inches, and so
the bandsaw now fits under the
bench.)
There's really no room to
hang things out the left, as you have done, or the
stand won't go into the
space.? Things could go inside the angle iron ( the
frame is just 12
pieces, welded into a box ), but if a lot of rotation of
the valve is
required for operation, that could get old in a hurry.
Any thoughts
?
