1 vote for a taper lock. They look proper and its a piece of toast I can surely burn.

Thank You for the informative post, the language is clear and concise, even for us colonist.

John, it's reading notes like that that brings home to me that I am only scratching the surface with my efforts at machining. The logic and precision involved, to me, is awsome. It also underlines what a fantastic hobby this is - always new challenges to conquer and techniques to learn. And the ability to describe the process in such a clear (and entertaining) style is truly a rare talent.

John I wanted to take a sec to thank you for this posting...

It is very simple when you thing.. Oh rotary table... cut some spokes.. turn some cranks.. easy peasy.

And it is.... Hoever it does require a lot of very clear thought as you so beautifully pointed out.
The DRO.. Huge help for me.
I read the part about the spokes.. and the 6.5 offset.. and was scratching my head.. and kept reading waiting for the light to go on... I saw the DRO.. and the offset cut.. then as the light was coming on I saw the -6.5 cut and it all made sense.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this stuff. As you said.. taching us to suck eggs.  :D  But as I have told the wife and kids, and even my parents(in thier late 80s).. things that are simple to you... are not so obvious to us who have not done it before. And all the info is hugely helpful.

Whats really interesting to me... The peck drill is done.. and I took it to the race shop where I have been helping. They were shocked by it, and surprised. (Yes I need to get my pics cropped and finish my post on it) The amount I have been absorbing from everyones posts, and simple methods, and or long convoluted learning curves.. helps us all. Im certain there are a lot of people who dont bother to post, and or dont register and read all this.

Thanks again.

(Starts thinking of which engine design to build first)
