Hi Madmodders

My Startright drill has an adjustable depth stop the only problem is that it doesn't stay put it moves, the solution loc-nuts

Into the old scrap box for some stub ends of steel, into the three jaw chuck turn the dia and nurl , drill:- starting with centre drill, then 8mm, then 12mm then 14.2 mm then tap M16 then part off to length.

Thanks chaps

I'm trying to get some of those little niggly little jobes done before I start back on the loco, I've got a bad habit of getting fully absorbed with one objective and putting other jobs off and making do with their shortcommings:- thats just me.
