I machined the inside of the points cover yesterday. I still have to relieve a bit for the condenser and a wire. It would be nice if I had a rotary table for this but, alas, I have no such thing. I've needed one for several jobs over the years but never enough to shell out the cash. Likewise, I'd like to trade out the old South Bend lathe for a newer one that would thread metric and didn't have the wear on the ways but because the South Bend has babbit bearings on the headstock, the spindle hole is much larger than a new machine of similar capacity that has tapered roller bearings. I'll use the die grinder to relieve the two spots today and then give it a final sand and polish.
