    So been a bit busy with work, but this afternoon I had a bit of a play with the lathe.

    Trying to make some nice snug shoulder screws for the alignment of the X-Axis mounting plate. I've just been getting the hang of it all really so only made the one so far.... Think I need a slitting saw to make the slot on the top.

    I've tried both brass and stainless steel. Brass is certainly easier to work, but not sure what to go with.






    Test fit:



    Figured out this threading thing... seems it would be much easier to do this sort of operation if it was CNC'd up. The change gears are a bit of a faff.






    Fits nicely:
