There are no aftermarket suppliers for the double locking collar. It's not really that special, it's two 1 shaft collars welded together. One is threaded 1- 8 to match the spindle. You can buy the shaft collars from McMaster-Carr or other industrial supply houses. Then you just need a

One more locking collar thought - Another thing, a single split pin holding the two collars from turning independently would also work. There is virtually no stress on these parts. Just take a 1 bolt with a shoulder and put the smooth bore on the shoulder and thread the other collar on the

You're making me fear for your safety. I have concerns about the material catching on the bit and lifting out of the clamps. I know you've got a lot of experience and can handle the job, but I really fear for other new to machining giving it a try. There's a whole lot of textbook errors in

Hello Alan, With the lack of friction in the nut and the linear bearings, I can see how the router could easily move down. I see that the stop for the z-axis looks like it moved. I would suggest adding a split pin or dowel to the block so it cannot move out of place. That depth stop should

The center section of the stand looks like a 4 start done with the 808 cove bit and two of the starts have a straight bit to make the hollow portion. Backlash should not be a problem if the machine is always going the same direction. Just how much are we talking about? We might need to talk

Forgot to attach a quick size study. It should work imho. The hollow is modeled with a 3/8 bit but 1/4 might work better. Remember to take light cuts with the large cove bit. Same goes for making the hollow portion. -Tim - Original Message - From: Tim Krause To: legacy
