One of the parts that Kondia no longer stock or make for my mill is the quill skirt. Like the feed trip bracket that Ken is making for me, Kondia did send me the drawing for the quill skirt, so I can fabricate one.
Well before I look to make one, I decided to see if the BP one will fit the FV-1, as its design is based upon the BP. So, on Sunday, I sent an email to four US based parts suppliers, including a copy of the drawing, in which I had included inch measurements. So far, only one has got back to me (informing me that they are different dimensions [typical]).
Whilst I will refrain from naming those who have not responded (after all, I cannot guarantee that they received the email), I'll give credit to the company who got back to me and that was Hardinge.
I guess I'll have to have a go at rolling one myself. Just not sure how to roll it and maintain the tabs. Any suggestions?
