Good idea on using the knee to lift the head John, thanks for that. Found some alloy bar big enough at £38 so not so bad. Much prefer the idea of using some thick wall steel tube if I can get some though. |

Hi You can bore the block under size, for an inch or so using your mill, then hold it in the lathe chuck using internal jaws on the Myford. The o/dia of the block was approx 6inches on my Chester 625, clears the bed by half an inch. When first mounted in the chuck, you realize what a big lump you have revolving in front of you. I wasn't happy so made a wooden vee block with a tenon to fit between the bed shears, to give the job some support. It worked quite well. I agree that a steel or iron block would be a much better choice, even if it does cost a bit more. Cheers David |
