Quick check done to see if I've the centre at the correct height



This pic doesn't show anything useful. Posted as it looks nice to me...



I bought some 2BA screws for testing. If they work as intended, I will cut short the project and call it complete. Will try to cut a 1MT taper to make a holder of sort for the Sherline mill.

Regards,
Wong

Dave & Ron, thank you.

The point looks kind of rough.  Should I setup my proxxon rotary tool in the lathe to grind it smooth?

Update:
I managed to find some 2BA cap screws yesterday.  All rusted as there have not been any enquiry on it for the past few years, according to the shop assistant.  They're a little long (1-1/4") but still usable.  I tried it on yesterday night and they work as intended.



I'm thinking if I should make a 0MT dead centre for my sherline tailstock just to test if I know how to use this set-over centre.  Or maybe a 3/8" shank endmill holder for the tailstock to flatten the bottom of blind holes after drilling.

Regards,
Wong
