Mr blindbird:
Yes i did,i first made it to thicknes on the lathe,after that,because i dont have a millingmachine yet,i just cut it off with a small anglegrinder,folowing the lines i drew on it on the back when placed on the sled,so it would have the perfect(near) fit,then took off the burs with a lime and drilled the holes when fixed to the sled so they would fit perfect with the bolts.
And Thx for the warning about the jogg button john hill :thumbup:,i'll keep it in mind next time,didnt know abouth the starter thingy,i just was pushing away happely.
The last thing i want is a lathe that breakes down in the midle of a project,would be a hairpulling event then :scratch:
Darren:
I think Bogs has just replaced his motor on a similar lathe due to failing caps.
Though I imagine it would be easy enough to replace the caps with better ones if/when they fail.
Brass_Machine:

:thumbup: Nice work Danny. I too have used upside down and backwards to thread from a sholder and , Yes, your head must be in the right place or the next loud noise you hear will be expensive. The threaded post looks very good and on top of that is does its entended job and, that makes life worth living. Now that it is finished, go to the pub and :beer:
