Plenty of room for the pulley and bearing adjuster nut .

Now i will need to re-bore the hole for the leadscrew to pass through the knee casting ,, as is looks like they used a rotary rat to chew it out .

Words fail me
Have you noticed even the threads are shiney
I would like to see the quality controller from the original manufacturer have a look at this

Thanks for your comments Lads
I ,,,,I would have been further on if two blokes did not call over to drink coffee ,stopping production 
Well i did a bit more tonight set up the knee on the mill for boring . Pleased i made that Box angle plate .

Picked up new centre , that was marked on a temporary plate fitted to the casting . As the new screw centre still lay within the original hole .

Used a hole saw to remove the bulk of the material , quickest way to do it .Always handy to have a good set around the shop for jobs like this .
![[Image: normal_P1050088.jpg]](http://www.nam-engineering.com/cm/albums/userpics/10002/normal_P1050088.jpg)
Finished to size with a boring head .

It needed boring this size for the nut to pass through when fitted to the screw , also the bore will be used as a register for the Y axis bearing block .

Looking great Rob
Very clever set up
It has progressed steadily tha last couple of weeks
It wont be long before it is churning out loco parts
