I'm dead in the water till the pulleys arrive. I've gone as far as I can go. Bummer.

What kind of Pulleys are you waiting for Bill? Unique to the 9X or a McMaster or other vendor available part? Believe it or not if it is a factory only kind of part you might call HF technical and they have a supply of parts that is sometimes very esoteric but might contain what you need. I know for a fact they stock back plates for using dogs so you never know about them till you try.

Great thread,Bill. I have little knowledge of electricity beyond simple wiring of household things.

Mail has come still no pulleys. This is where we are at. I am going to add the index holes and the spring loaded indexing pin today. That is also a new boring bar. It uses TPG 221 inserts. The clamp screw head is on the bottom pulling the clamp down. Head of screw stays clean.

Part #1 is a done deal with the 10 engagement holes drilled.

Basic Drive Pin is in there. Still needs to be spring loaded. Good job for tomorrow.

Got here too late for today but will definitely start reworking them tomorrow.

What ya mean it's not tomorrow. #1 almost done. In the center of #1 is the new extended nut to prevent backlash. It is a 5/16-18 coupling nut with a set screw that locks it in place against the lead screw. Tighten the nut, tighten the set screw, minimal backlash. (.004)

This is before and after on the #1 pulley. Took the whole flange off and opened the bore and counter-bored to fit the original handle. Even that needed .150 removed from the OD. Other pic is the finished product in place.
