Kondia FV-1 Head disassembly

[Mayhem]

Well it looks like we are all on the same page name wise.

Thinking of how I move forward on this project has me at a question as how best to progress. Both x and y axis nuts are trashed, most likely due to lack of lube. I picked up a yoke, complete with nuts that had been taken from a Kondia that was converted to CNC. The yokes appear to be the same dimension as each other but the new one has holes for 10mm roll pins where the other has holes for 8mm holes. The old yoke is also battle scared and the screw that prevents the x axis nut from spinning is chewed up.

I only have a drill press at my disposal should I venture down the path of drilling the holes in the saddle to increase them from 8mm to 10mm. I don't want to screw this up! My other thought was to turn up some 10mm bushes with an 8mm ID. I could always place the good nuts into the old yoke but it is pretty beat up and the new one is a little beefier.

I'll try and get some pics together on the weekend. And no, it is way too heavy for me to throw in my suitcase and bring to Ken's!
