Mike to the rescue again!

You are a a legend mate! This is exactly what I'm after!

I like the look of CNC4YOU. I'll have a good wee nosey at this now shortly!

Rob,

I've never heard of this particular bodge. I like it!

Sounds like it could pull one out of a hole in an emergency.

Can you elaborate please? What kind of tubing etc?

Cheers mate!

Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

I'm just echoing the posting from routercnc further back in this thread. All I am saying is that I would use hose clips to make sure the little fecker didn't slip. I would probably use a bit of gas hose as that is flexible and braided.

I haven't actually done it, but I would probably do it in preference to fitting the ones like yours that broke, even though I have a couple of them spare in a drawer.

I had a lot of trouble with the clamp type slipping and eventually drilled them out and bonded a slitted tube in as a shim to get the internal diameter right for the stepper shaft.

Cheers,

Rob
