Thread: Table stop for Boyer Schultz 612

I bought a Boyer 612 and someone had removed the table stop along with the two stops. I plan to make them and I was wondering if any of you could send me some dimensions so I can mill them in my Bridgeport. I wanted something close to the original, although if I spend enough time, I could figure approximate sizes out.

They also sheard the little pin on the underside of the table. Other than those problems....all is perfect.

I believe my 618 has 1" angle iron for the stops. I will try to go measure. Mine is hydraulic which may be different.

ChrisNCT,

I have a grinder just like yours and I must say, building a table top for it would be a very ambitious project, especially on a B-port. It would be great if you could document this endeavour with pictures you post here. I'm sure lots of folks would love to see the story.

Why??
Look at the pic of my grinder.
Nothing complicated there.

You did read table STOP right?
Not table TOP as you wrote.

Guilty as charged Doozer!

That's a sweet little grinder.

Do you have your dimensions yet? I can stop by an measure mine if you need.

(Also, I'm looking for a good, non-Rube-Goldberg way of automating at least the X-axis of my identical grinder. Would like to stay away from hydraulics, unless someone's got a freshly-removed working system. I'm thinking a hacked servo drive for a mill might do it... And this might need to migrate to a new thread, too...)

Chip,

That would be great if you could give me something to go off of. I will probably making it on a HAAS VF-4 mill so that the contours come out really nice. Then I will need to make the 2 stops.
