293: Wall tear out - and reroute vent pipe.
292: Drilled and tapped to mount DRO

290: MT2 - ER32 collet in my drill press - the tang is to short to extract the normal way - have to use wedges. -- The bearings in this old thing are not terrible - about 5 mills of runout at one foot off of a test bar. -- The drill quality is better and no more burrs on drill-bits.
289: Two unmachined flats - machining them for the DRO mount.
288: Just touching the flat - it was machined - but they painted over it? Where the follower rest mounts.
287: Just touching the flat - it was machined - but they painted over it? Where the follower rest mounts. The red sticking out from underneath is some shim stock.

285: Under paint - taper did not clean up.
