#LATHES Mini lathe saddle hand wheel. #LATHES


 

Always a popular topic.
Swapped my original plastic handwheel after it broke at the hub, made an aluminum large replacement.
Then got around to fit on a graduated ring, engraving done with an #ESI?
Interesting, one complete turn moves the saddle 19.07? mm, that is why the grad collar reaches 19.not as you would expect 20?
This graduations on the handwheel was very useful as a guide in the past, but now has become secondary, but 3 years ago I fitted a DRO?s? on the X and? Z axis.
but no DRO on the Y axis as i do not have a compound slide anymore.,?IMHO not necessary with the ELS fitted.A real flimsy design.

Also a few years ago, I dumped the knuckle buster X and Y axis handwheels IMHO ( an awful design) for the larger conventional round types.
from the photos, Note the feed screw covers, these really work out well keeping the chips and crud off the split nuts.
Some Real Bull lathes shipped to Australia, this was a standard fitting, but got mine through Amadeal UK.
Hope of interest.

Somewhat OT, but John, how do you put up these posts? Via an email client, a web-based email client or on the ?site?

Your photos always show up in my emails, but, for instance, Dave¡¯s clamp mod one shows up as links to the website

Hi, Bruce,

There are three primary ways to insert photos into our posts; insert (which will place the photo in the body of the text); attach (which will attach it to the email and require that you click on it to open the photo; and link (which will provide a link to the photo on a hosting service set up and maintained by the poster.)? It may be that John and other posters are using different methods, resulting in you receiving a link.

Alternatively, there is a setting in Groups.io that will automatically convert any photo to a link if the photo is larger than your set limit.? (See below.)? You can change this setting in the Subscription, Advanced section.? I hope this helps.
