Thanks John, you're a brick  :clap:

So with no more ado I skimmed that doughnut down yet again (48 mm now!), set the mandrel in the 4th Axis and had yet another go.


... hoo blooming ray ... it worked perfectly. The scale wraps around the part seamlessly (the join is between the  95 and 96 lines, and I suspect that the characters are better formed - one side of the zero's previously looked a little straight.
 :ddb:

So now I can go ahead and make the real thing complete with recesses for O rings to add friction in place on the drill grinder

Hi there, Andrew,

I'm pleased to read that you've got it sorted.   :D   :D   :D   :D   :D   :D 
John Stevenson:
Nope, 96 is greater than 97.

[ Should have gone to specsavers ]  :drool:

Very interesting write-up; I am pleased that it was you sorting out the problem...not me.
Pete
