Hi
Lads
Made a start on the mill feed screw again
I centerd the stock 1 inch stainless
It had a run out of 15 thou in the middle (slight bend)
I set up my new steady (the steady was trailing the tool)
set up a 20 thou cut (10 ether side)
It took about half a hour to complete the cut at a nice slow speed
The bar is now straight (or the clock is broken)
The diamiter is within 1 thou over 24 inches
Now the pictures
