What are you working on now?

Just rebuilt my little lathe... converted her from 380V to 220V and made a „new“ table from scraps. I can finally turn things at my home shop now

Looks great! I bet you oiled the table top!

Yep, three coats of boiled linseed oil and a coat of antique wax for gloss... small parts will slide off like a stick of butter from the hood of a black car in the sun

A beauty!

You don’t happen to know the exact diameter of the little brass nubbin closing up the alarm setting hole, do you? I‘m asking for a friend...

I measured a couple of train bridges, they seem to vary a wee and I assume that it may be the plating. The safest reading is 1,895 mm, but I would experiment and go for 1,9 mm and see what happens. Thinning ever so little in steps and you are there. I would turn a brass pin to 1,9 mm and use wet paper for the last hundreds of a mm. Patience.

I use those, one with 0.35 and another 0.70 center hole. 1.50mm thick and 2.00mm diameter.
If someone needs I can share. Do not need all

[mention]Yoda[/mention] [mention]Kp0y[/mention] this is incredible, thank you! I‘ll give my new, old lathe a little ride and see what I can come up with...

Here we go... a prototype



I made it taper by 3° for an easy fit



Or three, to be exact... let’s see if I measured right.
