Badger110 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 7” ? The wife says that’s not a lot of room but I explained it’s engineering 7” which is slightly different than biological 7” and when I showed her on the ruler she asked where I get my biological measurements from as they’re about 3” short 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stellaghost Posted March 4, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Right, a big drill needs a big vice, I got two when I bought the drill both in a general state of knackeredness. One I have scrapped as beyond sensible redemption the other I've repaired Stripped down You can see the state of the base no intact slots left for fastening down, guess that's the trouble with cast iron Excess trimmed off Put in the lathe and machined down, had to under cut slightly to get rid of broken section damage Next cut some 12mm plate and drilled and countersunk Fixed to base, base swivels so that's a bonus, also cut slots in to match slots in drill bed Put together Vice does not look out of place on drill regards Stephen Edited March 4, 2021 by Stellaghost Addition 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 A bit more tinkering with drill, it only goes to Morse 3 taper so looking to get to mt4 was not happy with welded on arrangement at chuck so have cut it off to allow me to square it up and also to see which way bearing comes off So bearing comes off away from the chuck which makes life a tad easier as I have a parallel adaptor with a mt4 hole in it So I'm planning on cutting drill shaft down and making a sleeve on the lathe to press onto drill shaft and then press mt4 parallel adaptor into sleeve and weld up so when finished drill will be able to take mt4 drill bits of which I have an abundance hope that makes sense regards Stephen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stellaghost Posted March 9, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Bit more done on this and hopefully a bit more later Machined part of mt4 parallel converter down a bit, then made a bush and pressed it on Boring out bush Pressing together Welded up and machined down Slots cut in for drift for drill removal No going back now, most of mt3 tapered section cut off Drill shaft pressed into other end of bush and welded up Next machined a ring that will go around bearing housing and tighten on with grub screws Ring will be welded onto bearing cap, hopefull will look a lot tidier and no gaps to allow carp into bearing more later regards Stephen Edited March 9, 2021 by Stellaghost 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Finished this now, ring cut to shape, drilled, tapped welded on and bore machined out for larger diameter Fitted on and test drilled with a 2" mt4 taper drill all good regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
