I rigged the 5C to ER-40 to the mills table, then found I needed a draw bolt about 4" long to keep the R8 from rotating in the ER40 collet. So I saddled up and ran out to TSC, where I found the 7/16 bolts they had were only grade 5. So I got one and some washers to adjust the length with, came back and found the bolt was USS while the butt end of the R8 was SAE. So I'll have to round up some 1/2" A2 and put it all back in the lathe to apply a g76 and make some SAE threads.
I also found I'll need a better way to clamp it to the table, probably by making a big v-block and a thick steel bar to clamp it into the V. Some days I swear its not worth gnawing thru the straps to get up and pee in the mornings. :( -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
