Yes but I had a "standard" 7/8-20 arbor already bought for the head....except it wasn't 7/8-20! :zap: :Mad:

Need an arbor?

You want to come and work in Europe we are limited to 48 hours by law (and it does not apply to one's own workshop) ;D

OK...profiled most of the outside....at least the bolt bosses...using the "milling button" method of HNC.

I'll post a picture when I figure out what I did with my USB cable....... :ShakeHead:

Dave, Do you mean move the cutter up to the button until you see it spin? Then back off and do the next bit  :???:?
