Title: Heavy duty leveling jackscrews
Post by: Edvantage on April 16, 2021, 06:53:41 PM

I saved these jackscrews from the scrap bin they where obsolete parts. The thread is 2" acme and is nitride heat treated. Just adapted them to my woodmizer. Was so easy too get perfectly level. I used one of these for a settling jack for my log home build and made the big wrench for that purpose. Will make a lighter one for the sawmill.

Looks like a very good fine adjust system. We have to shim our outriggers several times a day and we will eventually construct a fine adjust system to quickly sure them up.
