I figure a T nut is easy enough to make. Or I've the pi controlled Sheldon and can make the short stud easy enough. Or, and I like this even better as this solves the location of x=y=0 on the table forever, drill and tap a hole in the table for 3/8 NF. That way the chuck will always be mounted to a known x=y=0. Plus or minus the uncertainty of my home switches, which appear to be within a thou for repeatability. And when the chuck is removed, the table is still flat enough for the girls I've gone with if I've knocked off the threading's ridges with a flattened Arkansas file. This table isn't exactly a virgin now due to some miss-calcs now & then. :) [snippage] Thanks Ken. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
