Cheers Rick, and thanks for the help - atleast now I can do some of the required math should I need it again :smug:

Wait till you get the bill !!

if you are going to build another machine you can use that one to make the parts for it!!

If you need any help Just give a hollar and im sure there will be plenty of advice forthcomming.
Down load Google sketchup and start designing.. Its very easy and if you get stuck give me a shout..

Rick

If he does that then he will be rocking and rolling

Hey Rick,

That's the plan, although I'm looking at nothing larger than a 4' x 4' useable area table so I can knock out the occassional guitar. I did read your post on your build log - I don't need anything that large as I still need somewhere to park the FLH and the Hinckley, but it sure as gave me plenty to think about, thankfully I can weld so I was going to construct the framing out of 2" square tube, finding the screws to suit that size. There are some on eBay, but they're too short so I'll keep looking.

I have always had a soft spot for Hinkleys, - Romney Marsh.

Have you given any though about using timing belts as screws ? If not it's often cheaper in the long run to buy off Chia in China and at least you know what you are getting.

Hi Carlb1058

I need to know,what colors are on the resistor.

I've just looked at the original huge image but because of the fact colours change a tad on PC monitors they look like the could be a pale blue with dark blue bands or perhaps a blue/grey with dark blue bands. I'll wander out to the shed a little later as we've just gone off daylight saving and it's stoopid o'clock here at the moment and physically check it and let you know.

Timing Belts? Interesting concept, might have to wander the boards and look for a build log to see how that's achieved, although I would have thought the tensions would be against the use of belts because of the stretch factor?
