Starting work on the solid tool post.
355: I suppose I should disassemble?
354: Unwrapping my decades old magnetic chuck - magnet seems very weak?
353: Measuring to spindle height ..
352: Tiny Plasma cutter fits with room to spare on the bottom of the welding cart.
351: Re did the lapping plate magnet project with bigger magnets.
350: Re did the lapping plate magnet project with bigger magnets.
349: Another side job - putting in some threaded holes so this can sharpen chisels on the Dekel style D-bit grinder..
348: 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)..

359: Magnets are bad - plating corroded off - they need to slide on the bottom of the magnetic table.
360: In side rusted and rough - will touch up with an end mill.
361: The middle shifts so the magnets oppose each other.
362: Got the mag-base to use to hold things for lapping. I need to build a alluminum jig to hold it(non magnetic) so it can slide in - Y - will slide in X via the slot in the table.
