    Adding sprockets to 28mm acme vice screw

    Just rang Bearing Boys. Great company. I’ve bought tapered bush sprockets and bushes. They said it should hold for what I need it to without drilling etc if not I’ll just add set screws. Thanks for your help. 1108-28 Taper Bush (Dunlop) - BearingBoys

    Adding sprockets to 28mm acme vice screw

    I’m hoping (that’s doomed then!) that I can just get enough tension by removing links. I had looked into tensioners but it’s over kill for what I need it for

    Adding sprockets to 28mm acme vice screw

    I’m limited to the fact I’ve fitted the vice already. And the torque needed wouldn’t suffice unless I just lightly clamped them operated the two screws together after

    Adding sprockets to 28mm acme vice screw

    Yeah that’s an idea. I’ve never tapped anything other than aluminium. I take it the taps can cut steel ok? I was thinking of just flattening the screw for the set screw but your idea is easier and better. I wouldn’t need the nuts you suggested below then either. Ta

    Adding sprockets to 28mm acme vice screw

    Hi 90% novice here. I’ve added a vice on the end of my woodworking bench using two tail vice screws. The price of buying a twin screw vice was too much for me. I’d like to add sprockets and chain to achieve the same thing having used it a while and realising the awkwardness of clamping some...

    Ducting height?

    Sorry about your father mate. That’s awful. I spent £800 on a DIY kit (several kits). That covered a 6m x 4m garage walls and apex ceiling with 1”-2” application. It was definitely worth it but I’d recommend foil too for radiant heat. I’ve fitted a 2 part a/c system and air dust control as I’m...

    Ducting height?

    I did it. £800 in total. I hated doing it but it’s structural too so has strengthened the concrete fibre roof. I’ve got foil too for radiant heat - loft is vented . I’m tending to not look for issues (la la la) but I don’t think there are condensation issues. :-)

    Ducting height?

    I chose to have it in the loft space of my garage with no regrets. It’s longest run is 6 meters. Although I’m still yet to hook up to a machine. My shop is only 24 sqm so every inch I can save is well worth it. Don’t forget to earth if using UPVC. My Laguna CFlux 1 claims 1224 m3 realistically.

    Hi all Just joined today. I’m coming close to finishing my prefab garage workshop conversion. I’ve been very obsessed with detail and getting it right for making epoxy river items. So dust and climate control have been essential. Hope you guys approve 😀
