Otherwise I’ll end up with three spindle moulders, ie halfway to your level of madness...

There’s about 1/3 turn of backlash in the rise/fall. Very little between the gearbox at the top and the acme thread, but quite a lot where the thread meets the cast boss.

Rang them today - “oh, it was sitting in the corner and wasn’t posted.” I can’t seem to coax them into doing anything.

The nut is a two-part affair - the inner locking part bears on the cutterblock, and is free to rotate so can’t undo the nut under braking:

Wunderbar! That's the same shaft as I posted back on page 3, with a full range of spacers which is nice, they are surprisingly expensive to buy new. A very good investment I think, it should make the machine a much more desirable item and it should sell well, definitely more than your total cost thus far. That's, of course, if you're not so attached that you can't part with it nowGuineafowl21 wrote: I did ask if he wanted/was willing to flycut the ally fences flat, but he didn’t reply.

I asked an acquaintance of mine (the wonderful Tom French) whether he would be capable of fly cutting them for you but he reckons his little Deckel mill that he has is a bit on the small side for the fences otherwise he would be happy to help, he does have a larger mill but it isn't currently working, darn.

Any tips welcomed - one for making up bolts and other threaded items, bushings, handles would be nice. All the little things that are missing or worn on old woodworking stuff.

There’s a Boxford AUD on ebay, just like Doubleboost’s, a pretty green ML10 and a ‘tri-lever’ Boxford too. The latter caught my eye because it comes with loads of tooling.
