:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: Somehow, I didn't see this one from the beginning, having recently played catch-up, I'm in awe. Really nice work Stew! A question for you - in your 3rd pic, above, you're using a pointy edge finder to locate the centre of the circle. Do you use this just like a dead centre, i.e drop it all the way into the hole & when there's no lip showing, you're centered? I've never quite worked up the courage to use my pointy edge finder with the machine running.... |

Ade Its just a running centre the sort you use in the lathe, you just wind it down into the hole and let it pull the work on centre lock your quill in position to keep there while you clamp the chuck down, you've now got the work on centre with the quill, and it only takes a few seconds. Edit:- you don't need to run the machine. My machines takes M3 morse tapers and I've been gearing myself up slowly so that the tooling is interchangable it makes life a lot more simple that way. Cheers Stew |

Rebuilt No1 with new cylinders and fitted a new hub in the flywheel its now wobble free. And its a nice runner as well, remaking the cylinders did the trick. Here's the video:- ball free :D I'm going to have to look arround for another project now. Have fun Stew |
