There's no measuring dial on the large hand wheel used to move apron in the x direction. How do you measure movement in the direction?
Do ya'll even use the dials?
I made some tiny washers and just used a dial caliper to messure the diameter of the part. I also used the depth gauge portion of the dial caliper to measure each cut-off or parting of a washer. Is that usually how its done?
I wanted the washers to be 1mm thick, but they're about 1.1mm thick which fine for me right now.
I drill the aluminum rod out using a 5mm drill bit. The hole is a little larger. The holes are about 5.5mm while the shaft of the drill bit is only 4.9mm. I aligned the tail stock the best i could so it dead center. I placed a dead center in thevmain shaft and another center in the tail stock. I aligned the point so that they were nearly perfectly pointed at each other.
The drill bit has to be walking while cutting. How to stop it? I appear to have an equal amount of chips in each flute.
Thanks.
