[GrizHFMinimill] Re: Back to Rick's power feed clutch actuator

Yes, after machining and installing the clutch, I measured the location of the slot in the moving half and measured the location for the cam bolt. The actual rotation is nearly 180 degrees, but it really only take about .25" of clutch travel from disengaged to full engagement, so considering the cam travel is about .37", a full 180 is not necessary, just happens that its travel is limited due to its location near the t-slots. The actuator handle is a collar with a tapped hole for a longer bolt that acts as the handle so you can adjust the actual travel and end point of the engagement by locking the handle anywhere on the cam bolt. Hope this helps.....
