Been making a new s/s post for a small bench pillar drill. Does anyone know how the cast iron flange is fastened on the end of the post?
I cut the old post next to the flange and bored the old piece out on the lathe but couldn't see how the 2 pieces had been fixed together.
Maybe interference shrink fit? Or glued?
I could make another m/s flange from 12mm plate and weld it on but theres nothing wrong with the old one and if it just needs heated to put it on I will do that.
