Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
Oh man, reading that made my head hurt. I'm really glad the damage was not any worse than that. Find it hard though to think that Sherline can't provide a replacement part. I have the threading...

Oh wow, cool. I have a Unimat SL also. Was the first power tool I ever bought. Bought mine a couple of years before you and got it through Montgomery Wards (remember them?). Was right around $200...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
Several years ago I made some benders out of steel to make various types of u-bolts. Was a lot of work to make them. Squared, round, different lengths, different rod sizes, etc. I will be very...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
Assemblies in Alibre can be one of the more frustrating things to do in that program. If two parts are off by only the smallest fraction of an angle, they won't go together. If two holes are out of...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
