Doug,

I just now paid for the drawings from PayPal. tried to download them but I found out I didn't have Dropbox installed. By the time I got everything set up I had used up my three attempts. What do I do Now? I really don't want to pay again.

Thanks,
Barry

I just ordered and paid for this and got NOTHING. Just how complicated is it to send a 9 page PDF? I do not have Dropbox nor not does it say anywhere that I must have it. I'm really annoyed at this... If this is a necessity, it should say so up front. Otherwise, refund my money.

Joe Puleo

Well--- I admit I have egg on my face. The plans did come through. For some reason, unknown to me, they registered in a different place in my downloads folder (new downloads have always come at the top of the list) so when I didn't see them I presumed they had not come through. Also, the first question on the page regarding Dropbox confused me as I don't have that and there was nothing said in the instructions about needing it.

My apologies,

Joe Puleo

Thanks for your honesty! Glad to hear the plans came through. Keep us posted on your progress building this machine tool dial making fixture.

Jon If I might? Approximately how much did the materials for you dial tool build run?
Thanx Josef

Josef - good question, I'll ask rossbotics.

Hi Charron63
Here is a copy of the Bill of Materials, I didn't bother putting a price list against every item, but they are mainly just short pieces of different materials and a few ball bearings, you can get pretty much everything from E-Bay, This is just a number but I would say in the neighborhood of $150.00 - $175.00

Thanks for enquiring - rossbotics

Thank You for you interest
There have been quite a few plans sold but no one has completed one yet, It is a lengthy project, the maximum diameter of dial you can make is 8", if you have any other questions please let me know

Doug, She is beautiful!

I have an American Tool Pacemaker Lathe 16"x54 and as I am planning to clean her up and get everything readable, I am curious how you adjust the dial line spacing. If I have to remake the dials, I'd like to make them as close to original as posible. My goto lathe, Rockwell 14"x54, has dials I have worn the markings off of as well. If I were to build your contraption, will I be able to recreate markings in the correct spacing?

American Pacemaker, nice Lathes
Better than me trying to explain to you how the tool works I'll put a couple of You Tube links in here and you can see how it's done, The lines are adjusted by you to your required lengths, the size of the characters are to your own preference that you purchase, you can make a dial with up too 200 divisions with the dividing plate you make for the tool, hope this helps

Doug
