Must feel good to get your process verified by the first good part! Dave, how are you guaranteeing the 0.520" spacing? Do you have a gauge block or something that you're using to set between them as you do the press-fit?Kim
Great to see the progress. Sometimes the 'hard' stuff isn't as hard when you get into it. Looks great Dave.
Good stuff Dave!Will there be a grub screw or some kind of pin to keep the disk from rotating on the pin?
I was able to get 3 more assemblies together and some photo's I make myself a "Sledge" as at .06 insertion depth....you need it!And a family shot.....lots of parts....

That was a neat trick to use the mill vice to press the pins home. A mill vice will keep everything square and parallel and you should be able to apply the force with much more control than with a fly press. I also like the depth stop ideas to set the length and gaps. What I could not see was how you aligned the two discs before you pressed the second disc home.CheersMike
Hi Dave,Thanks. I can see how that works. Neat and simple, I had anticipated something more complexMike
.........Build a few extras to make up a trial assembly to sort out doing this in YOUR shop.. You will learn alot.Dave
