I haven't even finished building the foundry furnace yet and already she is saying that it will only be used to make parts for the mill and the lathe. Unfortunately this just shows that she has been paying attention.
I wish I had thought of that backlash adjustment method when I was making the new crossfeed screw and nut for my lathe, it would mean that everything is not dependent on how accurately the thread is cut, as effectively only one side of the thread is used in each half of the nut. I haven't got it finished yet (need the mill running to finish that part of the lathe.....) but too late to incorporate this idea.
