  I have been banned from MEM for a supposed North Korean scraper thingy.

 This has to be an error as I have not had any issues with any other site.
 I have been a member since it the site started and have had no issues before.

 Can a MEM Moderator please help?

Hi Folks,

Something for everyone this week! milling, turning, Kitchenaid foodmixer rebuild, and a day of antique repairs I start to sort out some of the stuff "downstairs" and start on my Dads old photographic equipment. There a lot going on and its all in here!

Phil, spring has gone cold again in East Yorkshire

 

That looks amazing.

A kind soul on another forum gave me some possible ways to mount the bed to the brackets, including a couple of links.  It definitely pointed me in the right direction. 

That led me to a trail of bread crumbs, which told me that I needed to measure the slot width - it's 8mm.  Searching for an 8mm t-slot nut with an M5 thread led me to the fact that 8mm is the width of the slot on a 3030 extrusion.  Searching for 3030 T-slot nuts led me to this, https://www.ebay.com/itm/157340497226.  Which allowed me to verify that these T-nuts had mostly the same dimensions as the ones that came with the clamps, the T-nuts in the link are M5 - the ones from the clamps are M6.  (I've got enough issues with M5 screws, M6 would be worse.)  One "Buy it now" transaction later and VIOLA, I have a plethora of T-nuts on the way.  Although mounting the bed to the brackets, and the X-axis lead-nut to the bed, will take a healthy bite out of that plethora - I should have enough left over to allow me to clamp objects to the bed for years to come.

I also got my M5 grease zerks today, more stuff that can come off the ToDo list.
