At a minimum, use some Loctite or other thread locking fluid. If possible, perhaps use a Dutchman screw or pin to fasten them together. The reason is that you may need to run it in reverse or accidentally turn on the spindle in reverse and unscrew it. If they are firmly locked together, you can actually use it running in either direction and that can be very useful for back boring or sticking a boring bar out sideways...

That's a good tip to remember Ken - I'll have to sort something out on mine when I get my mill up and running.

I bought myself a birthday present which arrived today. I was sick of the piece of crap tap wrench I have so I purchased a real one.

I have lots of those plastic boxes, they were really quite in-expensive, do you need any more, I end up recycling them with the local plastics but could sell you some if you need them?

I am sure they would be a lot cheaper than what you paid for that box, LOL

El Contraire Mo Hair, that is a genuine cardboard box. Not no stinking plastic box.
