Kittywolf13,
I haven't commented yet cos I've been playing with Rusty and his new hand crank. Here is what I would try were I in your situation. Since you have the new box get a piece of solid steel, "L" shaped, and cut it wide enough to be a strong support, but not wide enough to get in the way. Bolt it to the bottom and to the divider for stability. Bend it so that it runs right up next to the pillar of the machine with a tab at the top bent to keep it from bending inwards. Put a rubber cushion on that. Drill a hole where the HC mounting bolt needs to be, then drill a smaller one above and below the mounting bolt hole to mount a small bolt or screw in to prevent the HC from pivoting. This is a substitute for the boss that's missing on your machine. Bolt the HC on and crank away. Harder to describe than to do it. Joe |
That makes sense. If the table I'm eyeing falls through then I will give this a try. :P

Could you send me the link to the "Toga" too please? Thanks!!
And your new machines are pretty!!! |

I wonder.... Any machinist out there?
Requirements: Should have 3:1 gearing Should mount to a portable case (or be able to be used WITH a portable case. Should be SOLID Should be reasonably priced Possibilities: Might be able to be made to work with solid hand wheels Adjustable/changeable gearing would be a plus Possibly reuse some existing crank (orig or modern) with adapter |

Ok, I'm up for the challenge! Let's think through what would be the most useful and do-able design that will work with the most amount of machines out there
