Expansion Link 9
14-Mar-2006
To cut the proper radius in the Link we made an
extension to the rotary table similar to the one we made for the
driving boxes (same extension bar). Using the DRO on the mill, I
drilled and reamed holes matching the pin holes on the Link, and
drilled and tapped two mounting holes on oppisite corners using the
other holes. I also squared the rotation and zeroed the rotary table
and made a spot toward the end of the fixture. This would later be used
to re-position the fixture back in the mill having been removed in the
interevening week.
Here the rotary table is in place and the Expasion
Link is places on the pins in the fixture.
