    I was fascinated from the lever turning so fast and I wanted to add the pic but, I had nothing to say about it, so..."Sorry, just showing off" is the only thing that came to my mind..

    We'll make an Aussie of you yet!
    Another great job. You could also use T nuts in those round knobs.
    Cheers

    Thank you Jim

    I'm using T-nuts on the knobs, you can see them on other posts

    The problem is that I cannot find here a T-nut for M10 (only M6 & M8)....next time I go to Japan I'll buy bunch of them, much easier than pushing a nut...

    Niki, as always it's clever and simple. BUt please please please, take away that label you use "Apprentice (New Member)". You should be calling yourself "Polish Expert".

    nothing is so easy to do as when you figure out the impossible.

    Thank you Tiger

    If you like, you can make small improvement...I pushed the nut into a small knob so it's easier and faster to turn the nut for distance adjustment as on the 2 pics below







    Another improvement is...if you need stronger pressure, you can use a lever instead of the nut.
    After you tight the inner (upper) lever, you can continue and press with the outer (lower) lever to get even higher pressure...




    Regards
