Seal installed.
69: Seal installed - The slot to the right is where the sensor head wires will go out.
68: Had to make a special tool to install the Teflon seal
67: Read head - Epoxy coated
66: Printed some tool holders that I mounted on the side of a tool-cabinet. The ones that came with the red ones had slots instead of holes - eveytime I walked by, one would fall on the floor..
65: Read head with teflon wires installed.
64: Glued disk to faceplate - thinning to target to set the play in the mill's transmission's main shaft stack-up
63: Bad DRO - the Axis should be Z and X No way to fix.
62: Junyi - cheng/ shuo\ and Aloon
61: Junyi - cheng/ shuo\ and Aloon
60: Junyi - cheng/ shuo\ and Aloon
71: 3D printed tray that fits in the tool cabinet.
72: This was problematic. the bar helped me scoot it into place. But I had to drill the holes on the oil pan one size bigger. I added hardened washers - without the washers it would move out of place as I tightened it. My take is the oil pan should have been matching cast iron and pinned.
73: Can't find trays that are low enough for these drawers.
74: Testing new spindle encoder.
75: Headless mills look strange
76: Making bushing to mount 80TPI screw in indicator stand.
77: reaming for exact fit. ( I got the 5/16" reamer from a $20 ebay tool lot - best deal I ever got - lots of treasures).
78: Top plate - finished bushing and 80TPI adjustment screw assembly.
79: Bushing and insert installed.
80: Lots of trouble removing the original dowel pin. Bored it out oversized (10.27mm) - plugged it - skim cut.
