How not to rotate the head when changing its position on the column …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓

The Proxxon BFB 2000 mill/drill unit’s head can rotate freely around the column. While handy in a few situations, most of the time it’s an annoyance: Changing the height of the head likely changes its position over your workpiece.

So we will scribe a long line into the side of the column (while it’s attached to the unit) and a small corresponding line into the head. Aligning these lines will allow us to keep the orientation of the head when changing its position on the column.

00:00 Intro – the head rotates freely around the shaft
02:31 Time warp – future me tells you what this’s really about
02:50 Solution – a line on the column and on the head
03:33 Positioning – the column parallel to a reference surface
09:28 Measuring (1) – the height of the column above the surface
15:16 Scribing (1) – a centered line alongside the column
17:00 Painting (1) – it black, the scribed line that is
19:31 Measuring (2) – the position of the bore within the head
24:44 Scribing (2) – a preliminary line onto the head
25:40 Sanding – off the dark green paint where the lines should go
25:52 Scribing (3) – the final lines onto the head
26:05 Painting (2) – the lines on the head black
27:32 Using – the lines to zero the angle of the head
28:38 Wrap-up – next up is the wheel project again, bye
