Thread: BH600G + T2 Dixon |
25/03/2013 12:08:45 |
Hello all,
Need help please.
I wish to use my T2 QC on my Warco BH600G, but not sure how to secure it to the top-slide.
Photos of how the original toolpost is secured on my Photobucket site

in the Warco folder.
Do I use the existing T-nut with a new stud, or make a new one with stud?
As can be seen the existing stud had a flange that fastens down onto the top-slide
The Dixon has a sleeve down the centre with flange at the top, but not sure if I need to keep it in place or not.
Also shown are photos of how I used the space between the stand towers that has worked out perfectly.
Oh, the lathe has been raised 6" as when I had my Emco V10P with stand, I suffered back ache from having to bend over all the time to see what I was doing.
Easy to make a duckboard if needed.
Must say the Warco is a lot beefier compared with the Emco.
I have fitted a Newton Tesla VFD and what a pleasure it now is selecting speed.
All I need now is to fit a rev counter.
All suggestions/advise appreciated.
Cheers,
Geoff - Nearly all the snow melted
