[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 393751, member: 13632"] Thanks for the encouragement guys. :D:D My father in-law and I were discussing a bore scope. I have one but the quality is a little course, I use it to look into engines and transmissions. Could you guys though out any opinions on bore scopes, I have looked at the Hawkeye and choked at the cost, but it seem like an important to for diagnosing problems and checking work. I used a carbide insert in the tool and the speed was up there, my father in-law set it. The tool was almost to large to get in and cut the taper without it touching the work with the bottom of the tool. I need to get that machinery hand book so I can try to set the speeds and tooling up right. It cut like butter, but the cross slide hasn't been used for a while so it was hard to not get a little bobble in the face. I would have wittled my barrel to a tooth pick I was having so much fun:D I also checked out how accurately the carriage moved in relation to the center of the spindle to see if using the tool holder to chamber over the tweeked tail stock. I figured out how to center up a ground rod using the method NesikaChad had posted to another site, got it dialed in perfect and then ran the carriage up and down about 3 in and there was no movement on the dial indicator so I'm going to order a #3MT holder for the tool post and a Bald Eagle reamer holder. I need to get a better test indicator and base to get better resolution, any reasonable budget minded suggestions?? Everything I buy to work on my father in-laws lathe will transfer to mine when I get one bought so I want to get quality stuff but I don't need to pay for a name. I got a better pic.
