hi all thank you for the replies i am using it in the horizontal not vertical the bar goes right through the casting so i would be suprised to find any cracks and there is nowhere to measure what it clamps on.

Thats a great idea i have some steel shim stock will give it a go many thanks.

Hi all the main support bar has started to move when milling both the locking bolts are tight anyone had this happen? is there a way to stop it? and am i right in asuming that the locking bolts will need to be replaced if so where can i get some

Many thanks Bob

It is part of steering column vauxhall I think

I have just bought 2 more and wright from Allen dale group they are on offer i am very impressed with them so far.

Bob

when i bought mine from machinery place they slid the bar in so sticking out both sides then slug of both sides the 2 nuts that tighten the bar were left loos i have had no problems.

Hi Steve i got the part numbers from a post on here somewhere the 2 thrust races i got from Ebay The MS9ACD was ebay and so was the LS10ACD i did google them but a big variation in prices

Bob

I have one of these as someone gave me several 50mm milling cutters i find if i clamp it in and also use a jublee clip at the end it works fine i have never tried to work the cutter hard though.

Bob
