Building/modifying An Atlas Th42

Here's what he asked:

Hi. Have you had any clearance issues with the bigger gears and the sensor?

It somehow ended up in the quote.
 
No issues.

Everything clears fine.

But if you copy what I've done, you have to build your brackets so that it clears.

I used aluminum, but it's 7075 sheet. Little harder than the usual 6062 and seems to hold the sensor rigid.

7075 is a bit less forgiving when bending it though...

That was the question. I have plans to get speed sensor for my atlas lathe to. Working other projects right now.

Cool.

That's just an eBay special. Cost me all of 10 bucks (shipped) iirc.

Had to buy the magnet,but I just grabbed the small cheap pack they sell at PA.

I try to be pretty frugal (ie:cheap) when I build stuff. EBay is a good source for inexpensive stuff for me since everything is expensive/hard to find here in Atlantic Canada.
