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 .



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 .
