Aye, anything does for us ex fishermen thoughwould work better with calibrated string, give you more accuracy......
I would have thought so, positioning is critical and I was a bit surprised at the setup. It was really grotty in there, full of gunge so I never had a good look as to how it fits but I will see what it is like when I get it cleaned and the new bearings and may end up modifying it and fitting angular contacts.daft question, would the precision of the bearings not have an impact on the accuracy of the final positioning? or is it not that critical?

I don’t think the C3 relates to 3 thou, it varies with the size of the bore, but really refers to “more than normal” clearance.you can usually specify the clearnace (and ultimately accuracy) when you order bearings. for example C3 is 3 thou of clearance etc.... might be worth a check to make sure you've got the right ones.
Aye, thought that was the way but wasn't sure, bearing nomenclature is a mystery to meI don’t think the C3 relates to 3 thou, it varies with the size of the bore, but really refers to “more than normal” clearance.

On the Beaver Partsmaster Mill I have a Heidenhain probe permanently in the carousel and for tool length offset I probe an LED tell tale, set z=0 then probe the tell tale with the target tool. Tool diameter offset is by tweaks off nominal from measured work. If the four way sensor was on the bed I could cut out one stage in Z!
On the lathe, Z offset is measured from the chuck face with a 100 mm gauge block, and X diameter by trial turning and transferring the measured diameter into the tool offset table
I don't take either in my teawith all these options this will be some lathe.... do you still have to add the sugar and milk manually or is that the next upgrade?
