You are right,I still have more 1/2" bits and then there are this many 1/4" bits. Well might just have to do the Jessem table too. Another project for another day.

Now remember, the wife won't approve if you say for braggin rights.. The plastic bushings are the same ones that the bits come in the little square boxes,3/4" O.D. X 1/2" hole or 1/4" hole. I saved the ones that came with the bits, so basically recycling them and bought new ones from CMT to fill out with. They come in 10 ea. packs for a couple of bucks. Sure I could have drilled 1/2" & 1/4" holes, but that is too low tech. HErb HARO50, Gerald and Grandpadave52 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any slop or chatter? got any pics of the bearing carriage ? I just took a fast look, Cliff, it seems that there is an extrusion inside an extrusion. There is no bearings that I can see right now. no slop, slides very smooth, I lubed it with dry lube and it just glides,but does not override the push. Here are some pictures, I will look at it tomorrow and see if there is more to it. Herb Grandpadave52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty impressive then to do that w/o bearings, "nylon" glides or some other type of support mechanism. Must be some type of anodized aluminum alloy that is resistant to scuffing, abrasion from friction and so on. Obviously machined to fairly tight tolerances as well. Thanks for taking time to dis-assemble and share the pictures. Dadio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might try rubbing with some pure paraffin if you still have it apart...doesn't sound like it really needs it, but can't hurt either.

It is back together, but only takes a second to slide it all the way off. I will have to see if I can find a paraffin stick. Wonder if a Carnuba stick would work?

Johnson's paste wax for your tables and tools... You can add Briwax, Black Bison, Behlen, Trewax and Mohawk to the list of acceptable waxes... If they contain Carnauba wax they will finish harder and be longer wearing/lasting... You can even add more Carnauba if you want... http://www.parkbeekeeping.com/products/detail/carnauba-wax Wax applied to a warm surface is a big plus... Mechanical polishing over hand buffing is way better.. (elcheapo car buffer or a wool bonnet on your ROS)... Polishing is what makes the wax work to it's fullest... More polishing.. Better results...
