Reconditioning a Relmac lathe

[Lee Roberts]

Wow, you’re not wrong. I tried having dinner alfresco today with the family but it was just too hot I couldn’t stand it.

I’ve just done a wiki on “white metal” so now I understand what it is a bit better, now I know you’re going down the route your going down because you are enjoying what you’re doing and so on but would the bronze bushings not offer a better service to you in this situation and get your build along a bit faster? Or is this not a time sensitive build and your happy to take your time with it?

No offense meant and I’m not trying to just sell you some bronze bushing as it doesn’t matter to me, I’m just trying to understand if you’re giving yourself more problems than it is worth.

Now I’m also thinking maybe you just want to restore this machine back to how it was originally, if that’s the case then fair-play to that mate. Hopefully next weekend and the rest of the week to come are nice so we can all get lots done!

I think you could be right about turning the whole thing on end though then pouring. Does this mean we’re going to have to wait till next weekend for an update? Cheers, Lee
