Will issue 254 include a small triangle to cut out and paste into the hole left in 253 where the piece to stick on the cover of 252 came from?

Typical Aussie

Oi, I might one day want to look up the correct style for the drawer handle on the cabinet of that Colchester Bantam lathe on the other side of the page, the back of the triangle, and there it will be, a gaping triangular hole right where the vital information should be. You know how it is I am sure: as soon as you throw something away you desperately need it. Same principle applies to triangular holes in magazines.

But it won't be missing, it will be stuck on issue 252

The drawings are from an Emco manual for the turret fitted to PC50 lathes, they are not plans to make the turret, you have to use a bit of imagination to arrive at the size to suit your lathe. Michael already posted a link to HMEM page but the article with downloadable PDF files starts at the following link.

Thanks for those links. Will have to try modelling them on my CAD to see if I can do something vaguely similar for my machine. Not having a really effective milling head on my Warco WMT300/1 means that I may have to make it from bulkier aluminium to keep the cutting forces down. If the main plate is doubled in thickness the stiffness should be adequate, and I need an excuse to make a new & bigger furnace to cast the plate in. I have enough gash LM4 for a small yacht, just need to start using it for something useful.

Regards,

Richard.

I suppose if you stuck it on back to front you could still see the Colchester cabinet detals.
