.Not having a T slotted crosslide is one omission to my lathe I wish it had.Other than being bigger. Nick
It is always worth knowing the exact ctr height of the spindle above the cross slide, mine is 3.387" so it is a simple matter for me to pack up items as required rather than trial and error. I stack up a combination of parallels, 1:2:3 blocks and feeler gauges.
HiI think the best way to bore the cylinders for my loco is between centres in the lathe. The bore by the way will be 1 3/16".Has anyone made a between centres boring bar? one with micro adjustment?Any help here will be appreciated.CheersRich
