Another Feeler FTL 618

[Graham Stabler]

I spent over an hour farting around with the speed indicator, trying to position it in various places or work out how the rod was attached to adjust it (I think it is punched in place) and then realised the issue, the previous owners had added an interlocked guard and to do this had welded a bracket on to the tubular stand that holds the control panel up and through which the speed indicating rod passes. Hmm, some measuring later and I see that the rod no longer bottoms out in the hole but now sits on the bracket!



So that is why the indicator was not getting high enough!

So I took the tube off and ground off the bracket carefully. I'd like the guard (maybe without the interlock) so will figure out some sort of clamping arrangement I think. Now it works perfectly.



You can also see a bit of "the list"

Does anyone know where I can get some hard jaws for the Hardinge chuck it came with?



I have the jaws shown but not the other type.
