Which came out well and I pigged out. That in turn put me down for the count for a couple hours, probably too much sugar. But I recovered, drug the toolbox out, opened up the back panel where all the spindle electronics live, and spent 20 minutes blowing the swarf out of things. Covered it back up, fixed the x axis drag chain a bit better, and finished one end of a bearing pusher before calling it a night. Added some code to take care of some of TLM's built-in taper, guessing at .003mm/mm for external turning, bigger toward the chuck, must have been a good guess, my calipers can't find any taper at all in what I just did. However, when boring I know it will take more than that as it bores small at the chuck, and at least 15 thou an inch bigger as it moves toward the entry of the hole. That, I've given up trying to find the why. Internal taper and external are off in the same direction, but internal is several times worse. I keep forgetting it was a $350 Speedway off the Chicago Tool Touring truck parked at the local VFD for a one day sale back in the late 90's before I retired. A Hardinge it isn't. Someday I might get a better "little" lathe. If I last long enough. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
