    finally had a bit of time to start the next phase of the lift table build and start the new fixtures needed to allow me to straighten tube frames......

    one of the reasons this hydraulic 2 ton pallet lift table was in the scrap bin was that the shaft wear was so bad blew one of the rams and pushed the shaft into the cylinder. Before I started the original build was I satisfied myself that it could be repaired. Happy to report success





    The original tube clamps I machined on my screw jacks I used on the drag bike build didn't suit how I wish to use them for street bikes. Lucky I had made them modular to allow different set ups. One of the next big steps is to build jigs for frame straightening. These jigs also need to be modular so they can be used on the fixture table (including other fixture tables I'm planning ) or be easily stored. Just need to find the time and decide on final design.

    And here I am flat out trying to justify buying some decent tooling for the lathe and a 4 jaw chuck... really wish I could come up with a set of outside jaws for my 3 jaw chuck too. FML.

    Trust me you don't want what it takes to afford tooling sighs....
    18 plus mths waiting for one at the right price
    Never going out, never spending money and living on things
    like frozen fish and veg sighs....

    You might have a drama finding jaws unless you know what brand chuck
    and they sell them, I hardly use mine but dose come in handy btw I hate using
    the four jaw but only way to do some jobs

    Rule of thumb is tooling cost at least as much as you pay for the machine
