Plans in MEW or ME for roller Mill

Bruce - off topic - but thinking about converting to ball screws for manual operation - you may find that the handles turn the wrong way; computers don't care if they are left handed or right handed feed screws, but we get used to doing things one way.

My Unimat CNC was supposed to be a manual lathe for demonstration purposes, but the feed screws were the wrong way (only on the Unimat mark 1 version...) so it was actually very confusing, so I cnc'd it and "wrong way" handle issues solved.

Just something to think about...

I I have one of these roller bender cutters, never used it. Open to a good offer😊

I am puzzled, not difficult these days. On the 5th I added some comments to this thread saying that my MEW index had a section for bending rolls and listing 9 articles on the subject, most with detailed drawings. The entry followed that by Andrew which followed that by Robbo showing a copy of a page from MEW.

On the 6th I again looked at the thread only to find my contribution was not there, obviously, so I thought, I had not clicked on the "Add Posting" link.

I decided therefore to enter it again. However, needing to look back for the name of the OP I was surprised, and not a little worried, to see my contribution there all the while, how did I miss it. I therefore did not post my second attempt.

This evening, the 7th, I again found the entry was missing but on logging on it was there to be seen. I logged on and off a number of times still with the same result. When my entry is there it even then finds the number of contributions too long for a single page and starts a 2nd.

I decided as a result to view another thread I had contributed to, being "screw cutting on warco 220" again with the same result.

The system knows I have added to this thread as it sends me Emails detailing the additions that are being made to it.

Could someone just make an entry saying that they are seeing my comments, for if this does not appear I will know every one is missing them.

Incidentally, this is a copy of my original post.

If you visit my MEW index and click on Bending Rolls you will find there are 9 articles listed. I have not looked at them but from memory the one by David Fenner I think is close to what you are looking for.

Regarding my last post on this thread, Neil has now resolved the problem for me so no need for others to confirm having having seen it. The reason for the situation is interesting but I will not go into that.

Probably now too late for you Bruce but you may still find the articles listed on my index for MEW worth looking at.

Harold

No Harold it is not too late - I will look them up.

I have been busy getting to know my new (9 year old) mill and tonight I got fed up with the sloppy table so I have pulled it apart - tightened the backlash screws a smigine and reassembled.

Regards

Bruce

ps does anyone watching this use a Mac and find the cursor goes back to the top when you press enter. Very frustrating.
