Thanks.

Michel, the simple elegance of your solutions never ceases to amaze me. Whenever I watch machining videos, I like to think about how I would approach the job. In this case, I was thinking about how I would indicate the part to make sure the zero was truly ZERO. I had all kinds of trigonometry in my head, figuring how I could "math" my way to a solution. Then you show the indicator method, and I suddenly feel foolish hahah. So simple, and precise. As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Michel, it is good, that you did not use bolts in the t-nuts, because if they are too long, it is very easy to break the t-slot on the table. You can see this quite often on second hand machines, round tables etc. I never use bolts in t-slots for that reason..😊

@Rustinox

Ай бұрын

Indeed. Have to be careful with bolts in slots.

@StefanKaser-yx7oi

Hi Michel, The method of finding the top position is probably not the most accurate one. You adjust the x-axis to the highest point on your indicator. But when you turn the crank on the x-axis from that position, you see very little movement on the indicator for at least a couple of tenths of a millimeter. That means that the position on the x-axis cannot be determined any better than this couple of tenths. It would probably be better to crank to both sides until you lose for example 2mm on the indicator reading and calculate the middle position of the x -axis. Need to consider the backlash of course. Or you could also mount the new keys in the rough surface slot and indicate this. Just my thoughts… Let me know what you think about that…

Very satisfying Michel.

Might be worth checking the flatness of the base in a few days. Cutting the key channels in the cast iron base can change the stresses in the casting and you may find it needs a bit of work to get it flat again. I tried machining the base of a cheap vice to make it square, and it was initially, but then ended up a bit like a banana 🍌. That Deckel looks to be a very versatile machine.

I got a Vice with a base like that that doesn’t fit just like yours. I just mount it kiddy wampus with one bolt hold down slot in the near t slot track on the mill and one bolt hold down slot on the far t slot track in the mill. That was the center of the base ends up exactly on the center of the table.

From one of your other videos I know that you have just one indexing disc for your dividing head. I have got a couple in spare and would like to donate you the missing ones. There is three different discs available from Deckel. They all have 35 ID, 125 OD and 6mm thickness, holes are 4mm. Nr. 1: 27 - 31 - 34 - 41 - 43 Nr. 2: 33 - 38 - 39 - 42 - 46 Nr. 3: 36 - 37 - 40 - 58 Which ones do you need? Kind regards, Stefan
