Re: Backlash

I believe the only bit we have ever used for our lathe is a carbide. There must be some tool steel ones laying around somewhere...

That is a pretty nifty trick about the hole plugging! Never would have thought of that.

Our mill has a digital readout that goes to .0005 (with the last digit being either 5 or 0). Now that is 25 times what I estimated the tolerance to be (I believe the digital readout is a Bausch and laumb). I will have to find out the actual tolerance next time I go to our workshop.

thanks, Vivek
