I’m Tim’s scut worker! It’s coming along really well. Machine is cleaning up really well. Talked with Bob @BobKarnaugh today updated him where we are. He may be contacting the Lathe Team to revise the training deck and those folks will need to familiarize themselves with the settings on this machine. All the other basic rules apply. Here’s where I think we are:
-
I’ll start to turn down the piece for the idler arm for the belt tensioner Tim is referring to today.
-
Tim will get the arm dimensioned for the plasma cam
-
We’ll need get the idler pulley and a spring
-
Once that is assembled and installed (this assembly is missing and it drives the oil pump)
Tim will wire the machine so we can test it out and hopefully all is well. -
Then it’s a matter of the Lathe Team playing with it, verifying all is in good order, so they can teach the classes. It’ll only take a couple of hours to move the machine and get the old Colchester out of the way.
-
Then start the classes. Initially they will be familiarization classes for those that have already had the lathe class.
So progress is being made. Thanks to all that are helping, the machine has cleaned up really well.
