It’s amazing what I can get done when nobody is fucking with me and there isn’t some kind of bullshit drama going on.

I managed to get set up and cut both keyways in that shaft today so I could mock this thing up after almost a month.

Between the big assed Aluminium block and the Pillow Block Bearings, the center of the shaft is almost at the exact same center height as the shaft in the electric motor I am hoping to replace it with.

I still have to tighten a bunch of set screws down, clean the pulleys up and figure out the exact place it is going to sit but I need to make sure I don’t need to use that Mill for anything else first because I have to take the motor and wiring out to mount this thing.

One step closer though.
