Hi steve, looking good mate !

Yea all the machines i'v looked at have got a plate that your talking about for the spindle mount to then fix to. Looks nice tho mate nice one, i managed to get a some more done on my rockcliff tonight will post up the bits later.

Them flanged bronze (?) drive nuts you have used, where did you get them from? also did you say they are just droped in once the ali block has been heated up ?

Hi Lee

Im starting to get real fed up with tapping holes though, that seems to take for ever by hand, I could use the drill but I dont like doing that.

not quite.... I bought the wrong nut from Merchant Dice, I machined it down to 20mm od and cut the top hat part off so it was just a round bit about 25mm long with a thread down the middle, then I bored the ali block on the miller to fit........nearly

have got a piece of ally on its way from ebay 100mm wide, 10mm thick and 300mm long, £10 not bad.

need 2 more steppers but they will have to wait a week or so, "ER" is starting to moan

Send me a link to your rockcliff please,

Steve
