Thanks Animal I have already tried these wipers. Had to order and pay in advance with a no return on this product, waited 2 months and when I did get the wipers, they would not work. Since I cannot find wipers, I will buy new scales, 100mm/4", 300mm/12" and 400mm/16", when I decide which ones...

Chiptosser Thanks for the info. I have look at MSC and all I can find on their web site is from Acu-Rite. Animal Did you go through a Mitutoyo web site or did you contact them direct? I have also called a couple of companies that sell linear scales and all they want to do is sell you new...

Thanks Poppy. I have taken one apart and removed what was left of the old wiper material. You are correct, it will not be difficult to replace but I still have not been able to find where I can purchase new material. I am surprised no one on this forum has run into this problem and knows...

Last week I started uncrating my CNC Mill. It has been crated and in storage for about 4 yrs. While I was wiping all the cosmoline off of everything and hooking up the DRO, I started noticing these small bits of “YELLOW” pieces on the table. After investigating, I discovered that the “yellow”...

Thanks Jason I appreciate your help. I understand now how you calculate the depth and width. I new 1mm and 0.040 are basically the same and if I could have found the brochure you have linked above, I think I could have figured it out. Again, thanks for your time in explaining helping me...

Jason Thanks for your explanation on how to calculate the depth and width. I assume you are using this chart from Parker. By calculating the depth and width with this chart, you are saying my depth should be 0.030" and the width should be 0.060". If this is correct, I understand how you...

Jason I understand how you got the 20% and 30% and you get 0.032" to 0.028 but the in your next sentence you say my 0.020 deep is far too much. If you say it should be 0.028" to 0.032" then my 0.020 is not deep enough. what you are saying is very confusing. From what you are saying I...

Jason and Chazz Thanks Jason And Chazz. I have the parker handbook but it does not go down .040. That is why I came to the experts on here for some help. I decided to make a few cuts and see which groove was the best. What I came up with was .020"D x .050"W (.51mmD x 1.27mmW). Peter...

Steve It is being used as a seal. It is a face seal. Brian No it is not metric. I bought the stock from McMaster-Carr. It says the fractional size is 1/32, actual size .040. The M/C p/n is 96515K11. It could be metric because I just tried to measure it and I got .039". It's hard to...

I am working on a project that is requiring a .040 O-Ring. I have been searching the internet for any information on what the size of the O-Ring groove should be and how to calculate for it. Everything I have found I just can’t figure it out. I have tried different widths and depths but I...

Keith Thanks for responding to my post. I wasn't sure if you would since the thread is so old. Any information you could share on your copy grinder would be appreciated. There is no rush though because I have 2 unrelated projects I need to complete before I can start any engine build. When I...

Keith What a great job you did. I just ran across your build thread and also watched your video. I am very interested in knowing more about your copy grinder attachment for the lathe that you used to make the Cams. Did you find plans somewhere for this on how to build one or did you just come...
