Hi Alessandro, Wow, you're going to make the parts yourself! Please post pictures of your setups; I looked into this and studied the type of fix...
Yeah, I'm very pleased with how it came out. It was a great excuse for me to go meet the andodizers; they sponsor our FIRST team (we anodize most of t...

Final status report for New Year's day: I believe I have finally won my battle with J2 Spindle, I was able to get it mounted on the lathe and ce...
Here in the Silcon Valley (South SF Bay) I paid $120 to have 24 pieces anodized. It was the minimum charge from the vendor, mostly to cover the setup ...
Couple of things for the next manual update: - (pg47) : My keyed shaft is 50.24mm long, so it is a little hard to cut down to 53mm. I think that...
