Lots of cast Iron swarf..
347: Found a T-slot cutter in some HSS cutters I picked up years ago on E-bay..
346: The same for the top - widening the slots for 1/2" hardware - (12mm will still work)..
345: Side project - this tilt table was made for 12mm - just a bit too small for 1/2" clamp hardware.
344: The aluminum tip is no longer smooth and round - thus does not seal the oil-ball oilers..
343: I put some threads on the oil can spout ( focus never holds still)..
342: There is some backlash in the adjustment - but I think that is par for the course. Stuff out of China is still cheap - but quality seems to be going up.
341: Actually well done - the dovetail has a flexture - it is tightened with 3 cone head grub-screws that press on small ball bearings.
340: Tool holder to boring head - needs a trim for the shoulder.

349: Another side job - putting in some threaded holes so this can sharpen chisels on the Dekel style D-bit grinder..
350: Re did the lapping plate magnet project with bigger magnets.

352: Tiny Plasma cutter fits with room to spare on the bottom of the welding cart.
353: Measuring to spindle height ..
354: Unwrapping my decades old magnetic chuck - magnet seems very weak?
355: I suppose I should disassemble?
356: Starting work on the solid tool post.
357: Inside of magnetic vice is full of grit - some coroded magnets - some swarf..
