Cliff - many thanks for the idea regarding the drill press and flap wheel. I may give that a go although I seem to be getting quite a good finish with my needle files and time! Please do keep following my posts and if you can give any other advice then I`d really appreciate it. I`m going to be making the pillars next and then back on to wheel cutting... Chris |

Just wanting some advice with my wheel cutting - I`m trying to have the wheel blank concentric with the rotary table, would it be worth mounting the blank on the 2mt arbor in the middle of the rotary table and then trueing to final size with an end mill. That way I`ll know the wheel is true on the RT when mounted on the mill. :med: :med: p.s just randomly sat eating my tea when I had that idea.....please, someone, is there a cure :proj: Chris |

Chris, You should be able to get it indicated in good enough with an indicator. It will save you machine time by doing everything you can on the lathe also. Wes |

Forgot to mention. Looking good so far!!! You can get a lot done with a file can't you. |

Had a break from filing the frame and decided to do the pillars. I enjoyed this little bit of turning! The bottom two need drilling and tapping in the centre section for the feet but I`ll do that later when I have finished the feet. The ends are tapped M3 and now I need to complete the washers.
