    Nice Vice

    Oh, the DSG is nice too... The variation in thickness seems a lot, but I'd like to see another digit of precision in the measurements. The measurements probably need to be in situ, against the reference surfaces, before they mean much. Machine Survey is a whole other topic. But seeing as you can see where the wear is, you have some clues as to how to go about the scraping.

    I agree, that's why I am not keen to launch into something way over my head. Will see how it preforms and take it from there.

    Cheers

    Hi Piers,

    Not as clean as yours... out of the 3 I picked up, all are good condition 2 are excellent, one has some battle scars, but they are only cosmetic flesh wounds. The plan is to do some touch up grinding and try and get 3 matches. Two of them have sequential serial numbers, which is nice, but probably meaningless...

    Josh has been cleaning up the Taft Pierce box parallels, and some of the bigger parallels, They are measuring up nicely.

    Very True.. but I don't want to hijack Piers thread..

    Taft Pierce box parallels, there were 3 of those, in different sizes.. I don't know what the round spacers were from, but they were all precision ground and hardened, so Josh has ground them all the same, might come in handy in setting up fixtures.
    The big parallels are likewise ground and hardened..

    Default Update

    I managed to slip away from the family camping trip over Easter long enough to borrow a 4 ton fork and a set of machine skates to slide the DSG from the loading bay into the shed. While I had the fork on site I also used it to unload my Maho MH700 which has been in storage for 18 months.

    Now I just need to level the machines, power them up, reassemble the DSG cross slide and compound, plus a few other little things....Like getting all the Maho NT40/BT40 tooling pull studs sorted out.



    Two other items are required before I fire up the DSG. The first is a pump style oiler and the other is a 25mm shank CNMG insert tool holder.....So this morning I headed off to the Castlemaine swap meet with these items top of my wish list.


    At the one stall I picked up a BNIB Sandvik DCLNR 25x25 tool holder and a "AKA" brand 50-2 oiler. Tooler holder was $60 and he was not sure what the oiler was so he gave me that for $5. At another stall I picked up 5 MT drills, a pair of vee blocks and the 4 grinding disks for $30, so it was a very productive morning.


    Cheers
