Hey all,
We will be having a Machine Shop cleanup/ organization day next Saturday 2-17-2024 starting at about 1 pm.
Other than typical cleanup, there are other items I’d like to attack. This doesn’t necessarily mean just on the cleanup day. We can do some things before hand & continue if we dont finish Saturday.
The Tormach setup,
We are working on condensing & getting rid of the cart that the monitor is attached too. We have already created a new storage placement inside the Tormach toolbox. Huge shoutout to Tru for getting that design & cutout, it looks great. @trurobertson
We will be remounting the monitor & keyboard. I believe the monitor mount will mount well on the side without much problems. The keyboard/mouse may be a different story & take some thought.
The lathes,
Mounting the DRO on the Colechester & finishing the Shark Z axis scale setup.
Mount the 5C collet holder on the Lathe server rack. Create a rack to hold the various different chucks that we have & take the blue lathe cart out of the equation
Maybe something similar to this
Create a backboard for the Shark similar to the Colchester. Although I am having trouble finding those holders for CXA. We may need to do something similar to this
Milling machines
Create offset shelves off the side of the server racks to hold parallels & 123 blocks. I’d also like to add some other shelves to the milling machine rack.
Just to name a few things & goals.
