With things starting to come together, it is time to put the main horizontal drive onto the top casting. Of course, having heaved the this drive unit onto the casting I then realised it needed the drive fitting. Fortunately the casting slides far enough forward to allow this. Once this was fitted into place, then the side spindle could be fitted. You will spot from the photo below that I got a bearing shim in the wrong place and this stopped the bevel gear going back far enough to the rear of the machine. The result – the \u00a0side spindle would not go in far enough!<\/p>\n

Fitting the side spindle was straightforward once the spindle above was correctly installed, \u00a0although most burrs had to be cleaned up a little to allow easy installation into the casting.<\/p>\n

The jib piece was fitted and adjusted to take up most play. Once the machine is fully built I will oil and make all the necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n

As you will see, my machine has dual dials – Metric and Imperial – which is a useful addition and one I have not seen before. The dials are mounted on an extension arbor to the main shaft.<\/p>\n

Below is a photograph of the head slid back. The covers will be re-painted black in due course!!<\/p>\n

The head was slid back and the bracket that holds the screw fitted.<\/p>\n
