[QUOTE="mygoggie, post: 1038342, member: 18916"] I cannot show a lot for the work I have done on the lathe. Brain and myself have been working on the electrical design. Not a lot to show for it at the moment as everything is still done in Brain's world. I got replacement machine screws for the missing sample. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/DyTTRQwM/IMG-20210119-145929.jpg[/IMG] I installed the missing one and promptly broke the bakelite side of the hole. :facepalm: Turns out there was a edge ride on the hole and the screw put some lateral pressure on the sidewall. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/hG6FsTYM/IMG-20210119-151439.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/5t6d8ns6/IMG-20210119-151452.jpg[/IMG] I applied some superglue to all the surfaces and allowed it to be sucked into the bakelite for a few hours. Then I applied a new coating of superglue and fitted the broken piece into place. Fitted washers to all eight screws and mounted the contactors for the final time.
