I thought it was in the thread I did about installing the knee power feed on my mill, but it looks like that thread is gone. It took me forever to find yours but at least that is where the drawing was.

The thread isn't gone but I don't see the drawing, just pictures.

Hmmmm..... when I click on the link I put in my original post all I get is this:

I guess it's because it was on the old server?

There's a rewrite rule that's supposed to fix that but it doesn't seem to be working.

Got some work done on the control box. I sure do like the spindle brake. What a time saver.

I thought of Ed today, I had the mill running in the garage/shop, throwing swarf everywhere and thought, someday Ed could/should be doing this........................................................

I screwed up the cover for the enclosure and had to order a new one.

Maybe next time I'll pay more attention to what I'm doing.

Tell me about it...

Over the weekend my laser printer quit working on me. Apparently the last time I had to open it up to clear a paper jam, I must have unknowingly turned the toner cartridge on it's side at some point, when I pulled it out of the printer. There was loose toner all over the inside of the printer, and large clumps of it welded to the fuser assembly rollers.

I tore apart the entire printer cleaning every square inch of it, trying to be very careful handling of all the small plastic bits, clips, gears and levers etc. Everything was finally clean and I started putting it all back together again. About half way there when I picked up the internal floor plate to put it back in and discovered I was holding it wrong way around. As I was re-positioning it in my hands I bumped a tiny, thin, plastic toggle lever that sticks through the plate. It's for blocking an optical sensor that serves as one of 4 different paper position sensors. "SNAP".

This is an old HP Laserjet 4L that has never faltered since the day I bought it new in the mid 1980's. So much for finding replacement parts. I get out the trusty Loctite super glue and a bottle of accelerator and had the lever back together in short order. I went to push the lever back into it's cage and my hands slipped..... "SNAP" again! <Sigh>

I figured the glue didn't hold and I would have to re-do it again. When I looked at the parts I saw glue held just fine. The lever broke again 1/4" below my repair. That was my cue to walk away and come back to it another day.

That's exactly what I did.
