Thought you might like this? for any projects or modications that requires an aluminium bar piece?
As you know I have a mini lathe and I need to lock the saddle down when parting off or working with SS so to do that I need a piece of 25x11x150mm block of aluminium,this is the width of the slot in the middle of the bed and thickness of the bed,I can't get a piece of 11mm so a washer will get me 1mm lost thickness on the 10mm aluminium bar.
I'll show the mod when I have done it for anyone who has a mini lathe and needs wants to lock the saddle down.
Like to do this in brass or SS but I don't have a milling machine for precision cuts.
