Maslow linkage standoff by mnelson78

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is designed as a riser for linkages on the MaslowCNC, specifically the one made and sold by pillageTHENburn. This standoff has a recess in the top that allows the included washer and locknut to sit inside the riser. Enough room was also allowed for a Kobalt brand socket. After securing the spacer down to the sled a second larger washer should ride on top of the riser, followed by the linkage, then another washer and another lock nut.
10/24/17 Update. Everything seems to bolt up well. The 10-24 bolts thread onto the standoffs. I ran the same drill big I used to drill holes in my sled down the standoffs so I wouldn't have to thread them on. The 10-24 pan head bolts that came with the linkage were just a little too short for me to screw the nut on. I've ordered 4.5" long screws which I think will work well.
10/27/17 Update. The chains are parallel to the work surface without the sled on any wood to be cut. I've now uploaded version 2 (v2) that shortens the standoffs so the chains will be parallel when on 3/4" plywood. Should also work fine on 1/2" plywood too. I recommend version 2.
