Looks good bud I built George Thomas back stop years ago with all the op attachments. Screw cutting ops and back stop ops. It’s a great attachment to have when making screws and facing off.

A bit more progress.    The draw bar is 3/4" welded steel tube, with a threaded plug pressed in the end, and threaded into the Morse Taper 3 sleeve....

The Morse Taper 3 sleeve was machined and marked/indexed to the spindle so that I can put it in at the same position.   As it was bored in place, do this will keep the runout of the armature down to .0005" range which is where it is now....

Coming along nicely....

Hi Dave,

 Well done so far, you got less runout than I did.
