Badger's Workshop

[honey_badger]

used to make a lot of these for the timber frame outfits I did a lot of work for ..... 150 x 90 PFC ... didn't put a full length under plate on them though ... just three tags for the forks to fit into ... thick ones ... kept the weight of 'em down ... and as said, couple of ears for retainer pins behind the fork heels

they must've had 10 sets of 'em littered about the factory .... saved hunting for a set when they wanted 'em ... 2 acre site full of timber frame panels and stock .... extensions were on/off like a whore's draws

Yes fullly welded full length plate prehaps overkill however these will probably be used to pick up a mobile home again

Trying to replace some 5/16ths bolts today, brought up with metric so be great if someone could help with the thread pitch on this
Measures out as '18g' on the whitworth thread gauge I've got. is that 18tpi?

our 150 x 90s were used all the time for picking 10ft high stacks of timber frame panels .. 2-2.5t a pack .. onto artic. trailers for dispatch to sites

Some times it pays to find out what the bolt is off, this will also help to identify it, e.g. if on a bit of kit from USA most likely it will be unf or unc, and old bit of kit from uk it’ll be whitworth, from model engineering could be BA.

It's from a 3 1/2 lathe chuck off a Cromwell Mk2 screwcutting lathe.

Sounds americano, probably UNC

I know ..... and bet Acad has come on a long way in the last ten years, since I was last using it ..... never tried Solidworks ... told it's more intuitive ?

They look a bit shallower than that but as soon as I saw them I was thinking of all the uses they could have
