there are a lot of good responses already from what I saw, but I'm not taking the day off to read every single one ;) I just wanted to add that I have already...
From what I have read, you can plug the Iguage scales into the Wildhorse DRO which can be bought for $119 in kit form. The big advantage for me would be a...
Bill, I used aluminum angle stock in pairs to form a U cover for my X scale. The Y only need a single angle. The Z is inside the head and I built a cover over ...
I do not think you will find any flat bar in this quality. This steel is for the decolletage industry (lathe/turning) and not for milling. Regards Jean-Claude,...
12l stock is mostly used in screw machines ... From: zapvss To: mill_drill@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2011 11:25 AM Subject: [mill_drill]...
Rick, I assume the U channel is screwed together, not welded, for convienence of mounting and servicing the scale. Why does the 'Y" only need a single angle? I...
Bill, The U is formed from two angles secured with only 2 screws. Very easy to remove for inspection and service. The bottom is open to enable me to attact the...
Hi Denis, Very Interesting. Grizzly never did answer my inquiry as to why they "discontinued" the system. The price is also "interesting" a bit higher than...
They have had supply problems from the beginning with this model. It has a lot of features for a low price. I had to wait a full year for delivery of mine....
Hi Paul, Like Denis and you - I have the G0484. The curious point was why Grizzly posted the system as being "discontinued" rather than out-of-stock. It...
The introductory price did not last long. It was up to $1995 when I bought and by the time mine was delivered it was $2095 or so. With all that is going on...
I don't know if they had any manufacturing problems other than just trying to keep up with demand. As I said, it has a lot of value for the price and I think...
just get some 1018 cold rolled or 4140 steel ... From: Jack Dinan To: mill_drill@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2011 12:36 PM Subject: Re:...
Denis I am not sure as my knowledge is normally confined within the DIN norms. I know only a number of AISI references, but this only in alloyed and stainless...
"Thinking and working it out" is where I am. If it took you 5 hours, I'll probably be still at it next week.I'm definately with you on floating the scale on...
I also gave some thought to compliant linkages at one end. It seems to me that you do not want to be trying to guide the table or quill with the scale. I am...
Paul, I used thin strips of sheet metal. I'll try to post some pictures with description on my web site. Right now I'm having trouble with the upload tool. ...
if you look behind the table I mounted acrylic to protect the x and have had no issues with the y so far. I decided to save myself some clean up and capture...
Here are pictures of how I installed my scales. Not my best work but I was just too excited to get the thing up and running. As bad as it looks, it has worked...
Thanks for the effort to post the pictures and commentary Rick. It helps a lot to see what someone else has done. Bill in Houston ... From: "Rick Sparber"...
