Pix worked fine. Cute little work holders, your patent, or can I buy them someplace? I don't have any layout blue, which would been nice, so I scribbled some magic marker lines, which I quit doing toward the end, instead running then up snug & jogging end to end a couple times with the lube wiped off to make wear marks, then applied the pressure where the wear marks were. Maybe not traditional, but seems to have worked quite well. That half a thou my dial said is about 10 thou less than what I started with. For me thats a huge improvement. :) Provided we don't drown too many frogs tonight or tomorrow, lots of thunder boomers out, I should be able to get it turned around and the back side tapered gib setup installed for the first test fit tomorrow. Except of coarse I'll need to drill and tap for the adjustment screw. I still have not figured out where Kruger found enough steel to drill for a locking setscrew. My only path would be thru the outside face of the clamp, but my apron replacement that holds the ballnut would need machined for allen wrench access clearance. I can put a pivoting lever on the side of the apron to reach over and hold the screw into solid engagement with the notches in the gib the screws head engages a whole lot easier on the front. I've not yet invented the rear locking arrangement either. So the back one I suspect will not be a 1 day job either. But it won't have to be quite as precisely fitted. Best if it is though. Humm, this will probably make me redo the Z homing, because the switch is currently activated by the head of the bolt holding the clamp as it exists now. With the thicker clamp activating the Z home switch, the bolts are counterbored to sit nominally flush, so the switch will get tripped about 10mm quicker. No biggie, other than me remembering it. :( Thanks Andy. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
