Monarch 10EE way profile

[yorkypoo102]

I've been designing and 3D printing some indicator mounts for my neighbor. So far I've made a mount for his BXA tool post and for the ways of his import machine to measure the carriage movement. I'd like to make one for his 10EE which he is planning on making his main machine, but I dont have access to it just yet to measure the profile of the ways. Does anyone have any documentation/dimensions for this? I'm happy to share the files after its completed so you can print your own mounts as well. I've attached an image of the mounts, as well as the profile I need dimensions for.

I was in the process of importing the way wiper cover. I think this will work, if not let me know.

Awesome, thanks Jdub. The file is too large to attach, so here's a link to a printables post. I haven't tested it yet but I'll follow up when I have.

I printed a test piece and on mine you need to shorten the clamping leg "12.37" to around 11 - 11.25 mm. See picture. This is at the tailstock end with a flashlight to provide contrast.

For the wiper cover, that area is needed for the felt wiper.



Based on your design, are there differences between the brands of heat set threaded inserts? I bought the E-Z Loc ones from Amazon.

Nice, I'll do that tomorrow and reupload. I got my inserts on mcmaster ages ago. Here's the dimensions/part numbers
