I'm starting a new project of a tailstock DRO caliper install....
I've been sticking to modifications to the lathe to teach myself how to run this machine....
This is my take on a well documented process......
I have recently completed a compound clamp upgrade....
I learned so leasons of the importance of squaring the material at the beginning of project is so important.
Boring the .500 plate steel makes such a mess...
This morning I had the pleasure of drilling hardened SS.... broke 1 titanium bit, then again broke a carbide masonry bit.......followed by abusing a couple HSS bits all with not one hole drilled!
Off to Home depot and got a new masonry bit, after sharpening the carbide on my grinder success......
Drilled and taped 3mm into aluminum mounting block I made on my newly acquired gift to myself= g0759 mill.
