So nyah to you other fellows.Still...even with all that swarf you're showing...it still looks clean.

I would have turned the bearings after boring the pedestals though
Stop with the notes. Make your version. Certainly don't take notes off me. Other than..."remember not to do that" "remember not to do this"
Didn't think it mattered much here.
The problem was...I thought I could sneak up on the bore dimension for a close fit. I don't know if this is a characteristic of other boring heads but, there was no sneaking up. No way could I adjust for a thou. Soon as I loosened it...things moved several thou. Could not get back to where I was. The dial has at least 5 thou of slop in it and it was difficult to feel where it was last.Perhaps there's a method I'm ignorant of?[EDIT] I mean concerning this. There are many methods I'm ignorant of. I'm told this nearly every day.
As with most things, accuracy and features don't come cheap.
Now a real model engineer
OK Chuck
bore on the mill and make the matching part to fit that opening
I give, I'll cut the "Chuck" out
