What we thought would be a quick upgrade job turned out WAY bigger than we planned! Kurtis enjoys using our SIP Hydroptic no 6 jig borer and we have such a large range of tooling now, we wanted to do some upgrades to make using it even better...first up was replacing the broken & missing handwheel off the side of the bridge. This quickly became like a puzzle trying to work out how to remove the broken handwheel hub resulted in the entire leadscrew needing to be removed from the machine. Only to realise we still couldn't get the handwheel hub off the leadscrew shaft! This resulted in the leadscrew ending up in the lathe to machine apart the retaining fixture so the hub assembly could be removed off the shaft...and the puzzle is still not solved!
