Well thought, however I have purchased a 6 mm titanium coated blue coloured end mill that i've tested out on a piece of cut off shaft and it cuts it easy enough so I now have a back up once again thanks, keep that thought process going lol regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Lots of thinking but very little in the way of progress at the moment ( work does get in the way ) however some of my thought process is being acted upon time will tell whether it pan's out regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I think you have done right adding the extra meat to the axle, dunning and Fairbank at Leeds got me new needles and cups for my mog axles(416) when mine were knackered saving me over a grand on merc parts. Fantastic work, so simple but needs so much skill and patience to actually get right. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 A lot of work today but not a lot to show for it First off a CAD ( compass assisted drawing ) then drilled out in an unwanted section a trial hole for metalastic Bush fitting Slightly undersized but can be enlarged Slightly with a flap wheel unless I can pick up a 50 mm reamer at a reasonable price Tacked both sections together for drilling, how heavy really Drilled and split apart 9" grinders and slitting discs are amazing so as I said not a lot to show but hours of work regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
