Thanks Steve, I won't be going back to charcoal unless there is no other choice. I've started machining the main casting, I did the top and bottom surfaces with the casting held in the 4 jaw chuck in the lathe, I was delighted with the finish that I achieved. There were no bubbles or inclusions in the metal. I've also done two of the sides on my milling machine, I was a little nervous of holding such a tall casting in the vice but I needn't have worried, it held very securely. Tomorrow I will do the other two sides. |

Norman, Super work. :thumbup: What's next after you finish the rotary table? :beer: Phil. |

Am I missing something here, I would imagine that you need a tail for this, or a second bearing, or is the table surface also a bearing surface to the rotab table? I'm not trying to be a pain, just curious. Pekka |
