For tramming my Proxxon BFB 2000 & BFW40/E milling machine …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓

For the second video (link to first video below) about trimming the Proxxon BFB 2000 + BFW 40/E milling machine I need to attach the dial gauge to the spindle. That is a shaft with different diameters on each end is required.

We start out with some 13mm mild steel round stock. That is turned down to 11.8mm on one side – so it will fit into the clamp of the dial gauge – and to 6mm on the other side – so it will fit into the 6mm collet of the spindle.

00:00 Intro –attaching the dial gauge to the spindle
00:57 Dimensions – Ø 11.8mm to Ø 6mm
03:22 Sawing (1) – off 120mm of 13mm round stock
04:16 Turning (1) – the face of the round stock
05:42 Drilling (1) – a center hole for the live center
06:04 Turning (2) – down to a diameter of 11.8mm
07:18 Turning (3) – down to a diameter of 6mm
08:42 Turning (4) – polishing with sandpaper and steel wool
10:12 Parting – off the part from the round stock
10:54 Sawing (2) – off the part from the round stock
11:31 Turning (5) – the other face of the part
11:51 Testing – if it actually works
13:52 Wrap-up – next up is tramming part two, bye
