Yes, the Richmond, it's medium size universal.Have you a horizontal mill?
Then yes with fixturingYes, the Richmond, it's medium size universal.
The thing is you'll not get a bore anywhere near as good as the finish that devlieg gets.
Nor the accuracy/precision.
If it’s in good condition overwise 150 kg will find the slop hanging off the sideDoes that matter though? The Devlieg is an awesome machine but all you need is a hole to house a self-aligning bearing. A manual horizontal would get you that.
Rough finish burnishes to size when pressing the bearings inMill is a sturdy thing, if the frame fits on there it will be fine - no one will be inspecting the finish in the bearing housing.
The home of super precision work is in the south and south east.Master William is fairly 'local' then.
Young man of his skill set i expected him to be Midlands or even further north

I said the same thing to the mrs last night whilst assembling them . I’d love to be able to afford one for me but after the kicking I took no way. So a picture on my phone as proof I made them is what I’ll have!Wish I could afford your wares @pressbrake1 , they are truly things of beauty.
You would think they would be happy to do less , and let you do the fettling ,,, funny old world ,18” wheel finally cast.
I should be happy but now I’ve got a job it’s another nuisance to complete.
I’m not grumpy I’m bitter
Despite me begging the foundry still insisted on taking a die grinder to it which causes tram lines and more work to put right
