FRL Bracket Moidification
Ok, so its not as elegant as the original application was intended, but I think it will work.
This is definitely a reason to have a small machine handy and already working before starting a build or retrofit on a big machine. I didn't even do this on the Taig. I hacked it out in a couple minutes on the cheap Chinese router.
The first FRL bracket I just drilled out to fit the nipple I have going through it. This one I cut a square profile (with corner over cut) to fit over the square body of the "T" fitting. This way when I tighten it all up it will hold the FRL assembley upright on the back of the machine. Since the other FRL just spins on the nipple it will be very easy to bolt them both to the cabinet.
It just galls me to make parts I already have even if the parts won't work for the current application. LOL. They do now.
I'm thinking if I drill and tap for a set screw I can lock it down to eliminate vibration too.
