Hi all, Made some oil cups for the bearings. Drilled a lube hole in the connecting rod with a centre drill. Made two more oil cups for the crosshead. Still need to drill and tap the mounting holes. Set up the machine vice at an angle to mill the sides of the two bases with a “fake” draft. The one side has a section at the bearing with no draft. It was first milled across to get a start for milling this side. Next the vice was reset to normal and a setup made to mill the ends at an angle. Both finished. Cheers Abraham |

Hi Modeldozer, I notice you used a digital protractor and this question is off topic I guess, but how do you go battery life wise? I find that my batteries will go flat in the drawer even though I routinely take em out when finished for the day. I may not need the protractor for a month or so and it's getting a tad bothersome. Perhaps it's the brand of battery? Or is it that I store them in the box with the protractor and naturally they get attracted to the magnetic base? John B |

Steve, krv, Thank you kindly. John, Had it for a couple of years and is still on the orriginal batteries. I make a point of manually switching it off after use and leave the batteries in. Cheers. Abraham |
