The mamba parts should be good.

The parts are all basicly the same. The Main Car Plate has a small tab that is a mount for a e-stop box.
I also added four 1/4inch washers for the feet and a beefier box to ship everything in.
I peronaly am using The Classic Version, because I purched it a few years ago and I couldn't waste it.

Good luck with your build.
Joe

Here we go !!
 

Well went by and met Joe. Had a great visit and I am sure we will chat a lot in the future !! I now have my first pile of MM parts.. So I am in for sure. I am on to sourcing some of the steel through my local channels !! Great to meet you Joe !!!

Got my Mamba parts from Joe yesterday. The fit and finish is outstanding. I am gathering parts for upgrading a PR 96 Shopbot machine.

J.R.'s Leg Levelers
 

Since I saw J.R.'s Leg Levelers I knew I had to have/make them. And I did!
I have included four 3" round disk in last 20 sets I've sent out.
The Manufacture of the rubber part has agreed to sell them to me for about (parts$ + shipping$ =) $1.50 each.

I ordered 120 pieces so let me know if you are interested.

Joe

Hi Joe,

Got my parts a couple days ago....love'em. Very well made.

I wondered what the disks were for, thought they might be feet. I am interested in the rubber parts to complete the feet....$1.50ea is reasonable.

Wayne

Joe I thought about making the hole in the 3" disk so it could be threaded. This would eliminate the nut and allow it to bottom out much nicer on the leg.
I used a Forster bit and increased the depth of the recess in the rubber foot maybe 1/8" so the head of the bolt couldn't bottom out over time.
When I had the machine all level, I went back and measured the gap between the disk and the leg and cut pieces of 3/4" ID water pipe and installed them to make it stronger. The 1/2" bolt alone looked a little dinky to me.

JR,
What if you used a Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt? Wouldnt that be strong enough? Gerald what are your thoughts on the bolt strength?

I need some laser cut parts for one MechMate.

Robert, I just sent you a P.M.

Shoot me a email at 1mclain@bellsouth.net with all your shipping info. so I can calculate shipping to you.

Thanks
Joe

Hey Joe, if you don't mind sharing, how many sets of parts have passed through you? You must be responsible for a few dozen machines by now?

Laser Cut Parts
 

I think its somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 sets. I am enjoying seeing peoples machines in the process of being made.
My build is going slowwwww. Golf is getting in my way, its the Alabama weather.:o

I'm glad to help and Keep up the good work.
Joe

My set arrived today:

thank you
 

Hi Joe
I recived my parts today, thank you :D

Hi Joe, I am not sure if I properly understand how the skate goes together. The two holes in M610116PB for the 1/2" height adjustment bolts seem to be laser cut at 1/2" diameter, which means they can't be tapped. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.

Travis,

Check your drawing package. There is a set of drawings that cover the parts for grinding assembly.

I have checked the .dxf. Those holes should be 9mm. From Travis's photo they are clearly much bigger.

A thin nut under the skate could be the fix.

Joe,

Soon you will have to include key chains and pecan nuts with your orders! (That is a Southern thing - the nuts)

Yea, J.R. had me change that for him and my laser guy changed that on the master cut list.
I'll get that fixed on the next batch of parts I get cut.

I am still sitting on about 5 sets to sell if anyone wants to buy them selfs a Christmas present.?:)

The nuts idea (lol)sounds great, but the box weighs 65 pounds and that would be pushing the UPS shipping limits. Not to mention my back.

I am still looking for some parts that I can buy from local suppliers to include in the kit. You wouldn't believe the sources within a 2mile area where I work.

Revision control was often difficult when working with vendors at my old job. I dealth with circuit boards with multiple copper and parts list revisions. Thousands of dollars of scrap through mistakes and misunderstandings (theirs and mine :( ).

Kit arrived
 

Joe,
I forgot to say that my laser parts arrived a few days ago. They look great! Nice touch adding the leveling feet and the MechMate logo’s. Thanks a lot!!!

Laser Cut Parts
 

For those wondering, I still have a few more sets left.
The Laser company and bending fabricators are moving to another location. Lucky me, they are together and closer to where I work.
So, It might be 3-4 weeks before they get everything back together and I get another batch.
Parts are currently $474.00 Plus actual shipping(64lbs).
For any questions, email me at: 1mclain@bellsouth.net

Thanks
Joe

Joe,

Thanks for sending me the Decals. Can't wait to put them on.

Mike
