Hey Pablo,
I only have Photos of the assembled Turret...I origionally found some drawings on the internet. and I designed the rest to fit the C6. The origional Turret head was 7.25"odX1.75thick...I scaled it to 5.0x1.25thick.The Cylinder was 6.5x4.25 with a bore of 4.0. I scaled it to 4.5 with 3.125 bore X3.5 long. There are alot of pieces to be made. I had to make everything around the Head and Cylinder. The Base has a radial bore in it to nest the Cylinder in . everything had to be on a 3.0" C/L in order for all 8 tools to be rite. Bob

Hi Bob,

As you suggested, Im thinking towards the dowel pins, but I never designed a device using them, I have a couple of questions:

1) how do you prevent movement in the tool plate when the dowel pins are engaged? I mean if they fit too snugly they may be difficult to remove but if you leave the receiver holes too wide you have backslash, this makes the next question obvious: 2) how do you prevent the dowel pins to get locked?

Is there any reference where I can learn more about the dowel pins? Im googling but found no good tutorials.

Thanks!


Pablo
