Plenty of room for the pulley and the nut to pass

Very nice Rob
I see that special camera lens is working fine now (the one that hides all the machining marks)

cheers lads I did not get as much done to this today as i would have liked ,, i had a few other small projects to get out of the way :dremel: ,,,,,, milled up the edges of the block as i had just left them ruff sawn as the job was gripped in the four jaw for turning .

Rob,
Looking good

Not a bad finish on that bit of "scrap bar"
I cant remember a cylindrical grinder in your shop
I don't think you will have any problems with flex on that block
