The Stent is an admirable 'beast' as it is one of the few T&C's that attracts the least possible grinding dust. The worst was the Worden which I dumped. It was either it-or me- and I won! I was having a brief moment some time back with Arnold Throp on the SMEE stand at Harrogate and he was using the little Kennet for the rank and file( ouch) lathe tools in preference to his Quorn. Might I now go on to the Clarkson, please? I have a GHT Versatile Dividing Head which goes onto the Stent but, I bought a Vertex Dividing Head and Tailstock for the Mill/Drill. At least that was the theory :doh: So with the Myford, I bought a set of cheap(ish) collets to add to the Myford set. The Myfords are fine but if the stock metal is undersize- Oh, dear!!!!!!!! You get the gist? Right oh! The Vertex came with-- a Myford nose and spare faceplate. So I can use all my Myford stuff on the mill but the Myford ER collets take-- the worn milling cutters- but on the Clarkson. It gets a wee bit cleverer than that because the face plate is cast iron. On the Myford, I have used it as a diamond lap- with a series of paste grades. I'm getting there :coffee: Norm |
