Nice work Bill.. I love these small projects.
Building 18 cyl. Radial however is a real challenge, both in skills and time.
Ive been following your build and studying the design, your gib Det.3 is held in place with 2, 4-40 SHCS, then you have a 6-32 Set screw that will lock the boring head after adjustment. Is this set screw supposed to bow the gib in the middle and clamp the moving part of the head. I realize that this is a light duty head but there are better ways. Your pictures are great keep them coming.
Am I missing something here. Claude
