Kondia FV-1 Head disassembly

[Mayhem]

I probably should have got some from McMaster-Carr last week when I purchased some handles.  I think their minimum package was 50.  I thought it would have been easier to find locally.  I'll have to do some ringing around...

Nothing really to update, so I thought that I would show you the stand mentioned in post #339. The stand allows the head to be held perpendicular to the table, so that the knee can be used to get it to the correct height to bolt it to the ram.  Once level, the ram can be extended.  The homemade NTMB30 adapter came with the mill.  The stand is cobbled together with bits from the scrap bin.

   
   

I also found the bearing retainer that cracked after I used a thicker and better suited bearing for the knee elevation screw.  I didn't include a good picture of it in that particular post.
