Sounds nice. I put an Ebay led umbrella light on my HF mini mill, but your installation sounds even better.
Do you have a link to the Ebay light? It would be great if you could post some pic's.

Mini-mill lamp adapter
for my Cummins 7877 mini-mill

 

Parts:

 

2"x1-1/2" ABS
Flush Bushing from Home Depot for $1.29 +
tax

 

ABS Bearing cover,
part #1285 from LMS for $4.75 + shipping +
taxYou could use your
existing bearing cover, I didn't want to do
that.

 

144 LED Bulb
Microscope Ring Light Illuminator Adjustable Bright Lamp +
Adapter from eBay for $24.75 – free shipping, no
tax

 

Scrap piece of 1 ½"
PVC pipe

 

Process:

 

Sand the bearing cover
surface to remove the layer of paint and primer and expose
the ABS surface.

 

Dry fit the flush
bushing, bearing cover and PVC pipe. The pipe aligns
the flush bushing and bearing
cover.

 

Apply ABS cement to
the wide surface of the flush bushing and the area it
will contact on the bearing cover.

 

Lightly wipe Vaseline
on the surface of the PVC pipe where it might be
contacted
by the ABS cement.

 

Insert the PVC pipe
into the flush bushing and slide the bearing cover over
the pipe to make contact with the flush bushing. Twist the
flush bushing and
bearing cover to insure full contact of the cement. Remove
the pipe soon after mating the
flush bushing and the bearing cover. Remove excess cement
with a knife after a few minutes. Set aside for an
hour.

 

Using a 3/8" end
mill with your mini-mill, remove the portion of the
flush bushing that interferes with the screw holes in the
bearing cover. Don't
go too deep. Remove material from the flush bushing, not the
bearing cover.

 

Using a Dremel with a
3/4" sanding barrel, remove the flush bushing
material that interferes with the 1/3 circle cutout on the
bearing cover.

 

Mount the thing
on your mini-mill, attach the lamp, attach the cable in
a
safe manner and enjoy!
I'd share photos
if I knew how to do that.
Best
regards,Pat




















Here's some photos of the mini-mill light mount I made, I hope they get posted to the Yahoo group.




Beat regards,
Pat
