Tapers
Terry - Enco/MSC has a variety of taper to taper tools. Cost wasn't bad if
I remember correctly. Hul Terry Coombs wrote: ?? I finally figured out that the reason the drill chuck that came with my bench top milling machine was so wobbly is the mandrel . The JT taper is all weird , too loose in the bottom of the hole . And since I like a challenge (sometimes) I decided to fix it . BUT FIRST before I go screwing up a serviceable though ****ty part , I figured I needed to make sure I can recut that taper . So out of the corner comes the home made taper attachment - which I used exactly once before today . After an entire afternoon of adjusting and cutting and adjusting ... I finally got it dialed in and made a successful taper on some scrap stock . I did try making very light cuts on the mandrel , but ran out of length before I got it quite right . Now I have 2 ways I can go , I can build up the taper with the TIG welder , or I can machine a bit off the bottom of the R8 section of the mandrel to get a little more length . I'm concerned about warpage if I weld it , but can chuck it in the 4 jaw and dial it in to relocate the center hole in the taper if it doesn't run true . If I machine some off , I have about a quarter inch at the bottom of the R8 taper that's cylindrical before the taper starts . I'm not sure that's going to give me enough length to get the taper right and I'll end up welding anyway - but without that cylindrical section to dial it in on the lathe . Or maybe I'll just order a new one on ebay and save this one for another project ... last time I looked I couldn't find any , this time there are several choices . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

Close inspection revealed that when I cut from left to right the cut was convex , like a barrel . Just the opposite cutting from r to l , concave . That one did fit and hold , but it was just the ends that were in contact with the chuck taper . That's OK though I can use that R8 adapter for another project on down the line . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

Just for grins I did a search on taper attachments and found a web site that had instructions on hand fitting tapers. gadgetbuildir.com/taper Dan |

I've had better luck with Enco/MSC than ebay. All of Asia's production

Â* Well , if you buy the cheapest ... I usually go for somewhere in the mid-price range , after checking the feedback scores and looking the item over . If the pics are fuzzy and weird I usually pass , got burned by fuzzy photos once and that was enough . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

An order of "75V" gas discharge tubes tested either under 70V or over 80V and "50V" Schottky diodes began leaking beyond spec at 48-49V. They are still useable, just be careful if you don't have or know how to build the equipment to measure device parameters. -jsw |

I've purchased many electronic parts on ebay and amazon, but prefer buying from Mouser (or other US companies) when I can. Buying ATMega328PA's or PB's on ebay, several lots came properly packaged and worked ok, but after I got a badly packaged lot or two (parts were stuck down with packing tape and none of them worked) I ordered from Mouser instead. Actually costs less (eg $1.15-$1.20 vs $1.20 up, like at https://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine?Keyword=ATMEGA328PB-AU), parts are in factory packaging and sealed with a moisture indicator, etc. I don't know what form factor you need for 75V GDT's, but they carry some: https://www.mouser.com/Circuit-Prote...ubes-GDTs-Gas- Plasma-Arrestors/_/N-5g3f?P=1yi1tty -- jiw |
