I'd forgotten we had that, good idea as it also gets rid of a sum2 to 
pass the output of the two mux2's to a single path to the motor.

The backing plate, due in friday, also fell out of the little white USPO 
van today.  The registration ring will need reduced by about 1/4 inch, 
and new bolt holes will need drilled & tapped. Expected when the backer 
is by Shars, and the chuck is a Steelex with a shop fox logo on it.  
Drilling and tapping those 4 bolt holes will test the G0704 as the bolts 
are 10mm's. Looks like 1.25mm fine thread, but will measure for sure. I 
know I've an 8x1.0, but  not sure about the 10x1.25 without taking 
inventory. It might be a 1.50mm tap.

Shars who made this plate, included a spare catalog, and I note their 
tapping arsenal does not include a way to grab a tap by the square on 
the end of it with an r8 key stub on the other end. I wish there was a 
std size for the rear of a tap. But in 15 lbs of assorted taps, I doubt 
it a lot if I have 2 with the same square butt stub size.  And getting a 
truly non slip grip on one of them in an er32 collet is often very 
frustrating. Particularly when you note after the spindle has started, 
the tip of the tap is going in 1/16" circles because the tap wasn't ever 
straight in the first place.

So boring and tapping the new holes will probably discolor the garage 
air. But first  make the register fit so I can use the chuck to locate 
the new  holes, the whole bolt hole pattern is out of square by about 25 
thou means the first thing I do after making the register fit, is put 
witness marks on everything lined up with jaw #0.  But at that price, I 
don't think they would ever bother to polish the sow's ear.  And while 
its well finished, its not that precisely made. But its a 4 jaw 
independent, so who's got a quarter to call somebody who actually cares? 
I don't... :(


Thanks, Andy

Cheers, Gene Heskett
