Dave Stephens 474 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi All: I've played around with several solutions to the problem of adjusting the height of the workrest on the KMG for the grinding of fullers. Here is my latest and favorite solution. As you can see, I utilized a small lathe slide/vertical milling table. It's available on Amazon for $126 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Z2A3ZS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The slide is secured to the steel parts with bolts. The body of the slide is thick aluminum, so it's easy to drill and tap holes into it. It's precise, rigid, and seems to stay put. It starts to sink on the Z axis from vibration I will probably add a set screw. Anyway, thought I'd share. Dave Link to post Share on other sites

John Page 78 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Love the ingenuity! Have you thought about/tried a rack and pinion to get the vertical travel? Yours beats the snot out of the rod+friction thing going on with mine Link to post Share on other sites
