Had an old disk laying around, so stuck it on for a test, all good well pleased, but got some vertical milling to do now to make a tool grinder so all this will have to come off again, Rick

Have to say I was not too impressed with the finish on the disk, but never having turned such a large item before especially cast iron I did some research and found my spindle speed was a tad high plus on closer inspection the TC insert was dull, it was a new one for the job but guess the rust took the edge off, made another cut today and much better, so having sorted that, time to set it up again for vertical milling

Down side of that is the head locating bolts are a little slack so it needed setting up again, side to side I had a difference of 4 thou and front to back 9 thou, the best way I have found is with a long fly cutter, get the bed close and measure with feelers, this way I do not scratch the bed, all sorted now and ready for work, but not tomorrow, I have my injector pump to change, Rick
