I got alot accomplished today before the cold made it hard for me to move around.... I got 2 brackets welded up and the plate extension bolted on
and right now it is setting on the lathe under the chuck held on with a pair of vice grips ... that 1/4" aluminum plate is way to flexible ( obviously)
so I am going to have to add some table supports. but I am almost ready to attach the back pivot and whip up the saw arm and attach it too.
the crank I also welded up today so I had some sort of reference point at which to attach the back pivot to....
...so it's getting closer to picture taking time ! lol.....
.... i was thinking about mounting the aluminum plate and vice onto a 2"x 12" plank for rigidity .... and a softer contact point on the ways of the lathe !
.... i just might do that ! take and route a groove for the V's on the ways so it aligns the same way each time.... and then clamp it down.
