Trying desperately to locate these Micro Momentary switches with a M8 thread…….Can find heaps with a M19 but think they will be way to big! |
Unidentified pat of my Myford ML7…or at least I think it is. |
Saw this on the way home yesterday basically brand new hardly an KM on the clock guy wants a neg $6500. Aftermarket grips and pegs etc. |
One of my old tool boxes, I noticed the previous owner had travel document type stickers on it. Apparently he took his tools to the Himalaya's on the 26.1.1962 How cool is that? |
have you thought about just super gluing the micro switches in place? ive had issues with snapped cables in the past when trying to screw them in....
ReplyDeleteDon't think super glue would hold bu maybe epoxy…….
ReplyDeleteBut to answer your question no I hadn't…...until now!
Where did you get your switches? 7 what size were they?
they were from Grizzleys over here, i think lowbrow might do them though... Seriously though, they are fine superglued in....
ReplyDeleteDid you use the use the 5/16-24 threaded ones or bigger? Smallest I can find are just under ½"
ReplyDeletei'm not very good with imperial - 8mm hole - the outside diamerter of the switch (as visible) is 12mm diameter...
ReplyDeleteHahaha I thought you guys over there were imperial!
ReplyDeleteYeah there the ones i am looking for but I can only fin ones for a 19mm or 12mm hole, which makes the head too big!
i'm in my 20's (just) so never did all that fractional measuring crap....
ReplyDeletethey are an M6 thread...

Micro button switch »Standard«, stainless steel, Ø 11 mm double wire, polished, 5/16”-24 (M8) 26.30 € each
ReplyDeleteI was complaining about buying from the USA @ $12-13US….
I can get the Ø 17 (M12 thread) for $1.47…. Just can't find a supplier for the smaller ones. Bulk qty.
Have to add postage to all those prices.
Interesting stuff on that site…just prices way to high for my budget.
