Why don't you make 'em your self? I'm sure that even with hand tools
Thanks Eric and Bob, but it is a *time* and not a money issue, but
$250 for three mounts and I'd still need a new z-axis drive according
to the sherline website. Talk about reamed, shafted and bored. g
Oh..well, then you know the old standard pricing formula, right? You
can have any two of the following three: good, cheap, or fast!
FWIW, it only took me an afternoon to make the mounts for my Sakai.
On a Sherline, if you bought the sheet-metal stampings used for the
Frog, you would have minimal time involved for the leadscrew and
z-axis, I think. Only place you'd need to get creative would be for
the cross-slide. For my lathe, I milled out a piece of AL stock to
match the bottom contours of the cross-slide casting, then simply
clamped it into place. The Frog mount bolts to the milled "adapter"
piece. The reason I didn't bolt the adapter directly to the
cross-slide is that the Sakai lathes are no longer made, and I didn't
want to risk messing up the casting.
Regards,
Bob
