Looking great Chris.Little parts are sluch fun. Reminds me of a cartoon from years ago that shows several men crawling aroundon the floor of the office of Micro Parts, Inc. Caption read "We dropped last weeks production".Gail in NM
Can you reverse the jaws on the newer chuck and see if it is OK on larger stock? If so use it for larger diameter stock and use the older one for smaller.Gail in NM
Those links really look the part Chris!! Your patience and persistence are to be admired as your results plainly show!! Bill
Looking good Chris!Wonder if my rivet squeezzer would work on those pins, wouldnt need the mod ive done. The standard head with the right bits would probably workCheers Kerrin
Chris,I'm truly enjoying this build. Your fixture work is extremely informative and I really like the bending jig. This is going to be an amazing machine. gbritnell
Very very nice. Really enjoying following your build!
Hi Chris, Yep can see how that would happen! Haven't used mine in anger yet, always seems to be something that pops to the top of the list. Made it to close 3/16 steel rivets for the loco frames, its a 16 ton wire crimper so its got enuff drive its just the "C" arms that may not hold up! Shouldn't be a problem on the 3/64 ones for the tanks, even though they are stainless!Cheers Kerrin
