These are mostly notes to self and may not make much sense to others.
Am making some mods to the clamping system.
Removed the F clamps and filled the holes with plugs drilled for 3/8 bolts or rods.
Intend to make a few more toe clamps and include bolts on one or both ends to adjust them for level.
Currently the stop to determine cut position is to the right of the angle grinder. Thinking of reversing that so I can better clamp the work. (DONE) As is the last six inches of stock are difficult or impossible to use because it can't be clamped. So really only need 2 clamps on the cut off side and several on the source material. On the cut off side one clamp for the stop and one to keep the cut part from shifting.
Move the plate that holds the height adjuster from the bottom of the linear bearing to the top. This should provide about an additional inch of travel. Will need to make a new adjuster rod/linkage thing. Turn down/shorten a nut to lock the rod without using up much travel. (DONE)
Need to build an adjustable fence so the final square to the blade can be done with the fence instead of the arm that the grinder slides on. Have been thinking about his one for a while. Screws instead of welding to prevent metal warpage. Mayb #10 cap head socket screws. Have a few.
Just a note to self. Should tear down and grease the grider's head. It sounds dry.
