![]() 49 forum posts 56 photos | A little late in the day, but I have had to get the bottom saddle ground. As the main bed was re ground it has dropped the saddle with respect to the under side of the bed. Due to this when you clamp up the bottom plate onto the saddle there is movement between the saddle and bed. I am also going to rind the saddle face that moves on the bed. I have over ground the sable and will set up with some 0.02mm shim. |

This works with the existing Sherline pulley. 4 MM Green Polyurethane Round drive belting This comes in open strips and is welded with a small amount of heat. Done test and the joint is very strong.

This is adjustable and is a mechanical stop to stop you hitting the tooling and damaging it.
