BTW, for the operation you're performing the vises do not need to be aligned or even indicated straight with the axis.
I don't know what TGP stands for (another mystery TLA) but I used a length of 1" ground shaft between the vices to tram. Worked a treat.
That's a great point about not needing to align the vice, didn't even occur to me. Kind of seemed compulsory to tram a vice when mounting it.

I believe it stands for "turned, ground and polished".

Correct. I've used it to make shafts, especially those which have a single diameter but have key seats and maybe some threads.

Took a test drive in the new to me canoe. Moves along nicely with the 3 hp outboard.

No they make great sticks to shove off shore with.
We put in at the head of the rapids, so had to paddle like a bugger to get up stream enough to get the motor going. lol
Don't think this semi dumb flip phone I have now has GPS, will have to check and find out how fast it will go. We were certainly motoring when we came back down from the dam, probably had a 4 or 5 knot current pushing us.
