Todays Project - What did you do today?

The nut should have matching flats, so the nut will slide up and down. You have to get both of the nuts aligned with the flats. At least on my DP.

1/2 - 20 UNF.  I plan on doing exactly the same thing.  Just another job of many on my to do list.

Problem: 65kg of rotary table sitting on my mobile tool bench for months.
   

Solution:
someone threw this away.
   

A few offcuts from the scrap bin
   


   

   

Goes under the gantry when needed, out of the way when not.

Now that makes total sense, for the design seen, good one!

See shows the need to RTP (read the poop) aka op manual  ....

Been known to make the same mistake .. LMAO !!

Personally, I'd remove the spigot before you sit on it Pete.

Pete,
How do you get the 65kg from point A to point B?

[Roadracer_Al]

With one hand, of course.

[wawoodman]

Of course. Silly of me to ask.

I might at least take the D-shackle out of it.

Mike, I've got a swinging gantry set up over my machines, I do as little lifting as possible- had a 3-level fusion on my spine a few years ago and don't want another. Reason this sat on my mobile tool bench was that it needed to be on wheels to get to and from the gantry, either that or be in the way of the machines all the time.
