Is it just me or is there really a coherent interference pattern on those bores they look SO TRUE!
Very nice. How did you centre that Y nut mount on rotab? Did you had a bespoken spacer that fitted inside the mount bore?

Hi Pekka ,,,,,,,,,, The finish in the bores is straight from the lathe , i used a tipped tool
,,,,, To set up the job on the RT i just clocked the bore into the RT axis .
I see you've craftily numbered all your clamps "3" - this must be some clever Geordie system?
Cheers Ade ,,,,,,,,,,
no Geordie system ,,,,,,,,,,they came like that
Well i did a bit more tonight
set up the knee on the mill for boring .
Picked up new centre .
Used a hole saw to remove the bulk of the material , quickest way to do it .
Finished to size with a boring head .
It needed boring this size for the nut to pass through when fitted to the screw , also the bore will be used as a register for the Y axis bearing block .
