Havent been into the play pen for quite a while as I’ve been busy finishing my studies then haven’t been too well
Decided to have a go at making a hook bender jig. Instead of doing things the easy way and welding it up I’ve got a crazy idea to drill through from point to point on some hex bar. It’s part of my silly plan to make an adjustable jig.
Got things set up on the mill and made some holes. What a flipping disaster
Quick phone call to dad (he’s a retired engineer, had his own machine shop)
I have now successfully clocked in the milling vice so it’s true to the cutter
I’ve learnt how to adjust the bed to align the point of the hex bar spot on to the tool centre. Simply done with a sharpened masonry nail held in the chuck
I’ve now successfully drilled the holes exactly how I wanted.
Before anyone says, I’ll post up a pic Tommorow
