Re: Interesting blueprint
Not sure if this link will work - https://catalog.archives.gov/id/7035823 there is a download button, and the image is decently big to print ( 300dpi 4438 pixels x 6494 pixels) It's still a little soft but easily fixed to your liking in any photo editing software If the link doesn't work go to - htt...

Re: Adjustable Angle Plate
Never thought of the backlash on that Shars one, a good point ! Rigidity is a factor in my decision since my mill is on the 'light' side, looking around I may go with a India made one without the worm screw, the base seems more substantial but I may be in for a headache since I want to get two so I ...

Re: Adjustable Angle Plate
Russ, that's pretty much how i figured I would set the angle using a angle block, a sine bar would be nice but that's down low on my acquisition list. Wally318, I would think that accuracy would the flatness of the slotted table, I pretty much figured that the arc is whatever it is from the factory,...

Adjustable Angle Plate
I'm in the market for a pair of import adjustable angle plates so that I can mill a bevel on
longish pieces. I've looking at this one :
ebay link
It seems much more steady than the hinged pivoting ones.
Anyone own one and what do you think of it ?

Shaper Clapper mechanisim
I've been looking at videos and reading info on metal shapers, and the one thing that
stood out is that the pivot for the clapper is a tapered pin.
Seems that a straight pin would work just as well, since all it is a pivot for the tool post
why a tapered pin ?

Re: Polishing Acrylic
I had a job that required me to reproduce some perfume bottles with the stopper in a clear plastic, the stopper pattern was turned out of acrylic so that I could cast them in a clear epoxy so the stopper pattern has to be polished clear. My sequence in getting the acrylic pattern clear was : 220 / 3...
