Here some "making of" pics. First the brackets for the blade tilt cylinders.
The original. Actually, I just realize I forgot to round of the outer corner
Well, better that than rounding of something which should be well defined.
Cutting at an angle saved some material.
Getting the top surface of the pieces parallel with the top of the jaws (having made sure the latter are at a right angle to the spindle axis).
Later, same procedure but new set-up for drilling.
1.2 mm drill.
Tapping M1.4. Always quite scary tapping the smaller threads in stainless 1.4301 (SAE grade 304), since this material has a strong tendency to work hardening. But I need it for its weldability.
To be continued. Thanks for looking.
