Hi Neil,

You have a solution in your email box.

What are the chances of it appearing in MEW?

Sorry Neil couldn't resist that!!!

best regards geoff

where have you been?

I stopped posting at every site I was posting at, I was spending too much time talking and not enuf time doing.

Anyway, that change in the Yahoo board system was a disaster for me, I just can't get my head around it, everything was so simple before they changed it and I realised that any contribution I make on any site anywhere on the internet can disappear within a very short space of time and some posts can take 1-2 hours of effort

So I combined my new ME interest with this place. I only really visit about 5 places now, the bbc, ebay and a few others and don't have the time for anything else

Nice to see that the Drummond site has survived. The BBC basic site was another huge mine of information on Yahoo and now it's gone. All that specialised knowledge, thousands of hours of human effort, gone forever because some policy wonk at Yahoo had a brain fart

Edit: Had a look at the extra thrust bearing suggestion though. Great to see that these units can still be improved by such simple tweaks. Have put it on my to-do list

+1 on the Drummond Yahoo site being a giant pain in the derriere to use. It's a wonderful resource and great bunch of blokes but I cannot get my head around navigating it either. Drives me absolutely nuts.

No problem here with the "reverse" rack traverse. Guess I am just used to it. IT helps too that I no longer use any other "normal" lathe.
