    Default Adjustable / sliding SME style armbase and base plate

    Here's an interesting job.

    A fully (spindle to pivot) adjustable armbase collar and base plate.

    All parts are machined from scratch from brass bar and plate / stainless steel.

    The collar



    Base part machined

    All base plate machining done, domed knurled nuts in brass and sliding pins in stainless steel



    The complete article assembled



    This will be now be sent off for chroming - more pics once I've received it back for checking over and sending off to the customer.

    Hi Andy,
    I charge £200 for a shallow collar version and £210 for a deeper 40mm (below the base plate) collar.
    Special delivery is £7.25.

    I can give it a highly polished finish for that too.

    Best regards,
    Steve

    Here's the first one that was always destined to be chromed all finished.

    Moving home and workshop (from Surrey to the New Forest delayed my putting pics up here.

    Came out nicely.
