Hi Rob Bad luck :( :( often wondered how those Tufnol gears survive .. must take a hammering when doing intermittent cuts .. I rounded some 1.67" AF hex last year. Abandoned the leadscrew, fed by apron handwheel instead ... terrifying. What's the t'worm for anyway .. ?? Dave BC EDIT Ah Lathe indexing attachment ... READ THE DAMN INSTRUCTIONS .... |
