Building a New Lathe

vtsteam:
The punch worked to move the hole center over from the peg location:

vtsteam:
I drilled 1/8" through with a spotting drill -- I didn't want to risk another broken 1/16" bit in this tough steel faceplate.

vtsteam:
The hole center checked out whan I replaced the plug gauge. The new hole is at about 10:00 position in this photo (marked "3").

vtsteam:
And finally, I drilled it out to a #7 drill -- the tapping size. This fully removed the peg I'd put in, and there is no evidence of my scew-up earlier.

Really happy that worked!  :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

S. Heslop:
Nice save!
