Top plate - finished bushing and 80TPI adjustment screw assembly.
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).
76: Making bushing to mount 80TPI screw in indicator stand.
75: Headless mills look strange
74: Testing new spindle encoder.
73: Can't find trays that are low enough for these drawers.
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.
71: 3D printed tray that fits in the tool cabinet.
70: 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
79: Bushing and insert installed.
80: Lots of trouble removing the original dowel pin. Bored it out oversized (10.27mm) - plugged it - skim cut.
81: Put a jog-wheel divit in the knob
82: Fiber install
83: Turned a thread - Timing is hard..
84: For the real deal I'm not going to thread it after all - tapping for the grub screw
85: Making a hex head for tightening the larger stand.
86: Needs a bit of file work.
87: Need to make a new joint now.
88: Looking at this old broach set - I can use it to make the indicator joint.
