I needed to machine the bearing housing off a Munice SM420 gearbox. Most of thecasting is off centre by a long way. Needed a counter balance, I had a root about picked a lump up and plonked it on the faceplate. Amazingly it was bang on, a 2p on the h/stock didn't move

Piston, not had any problems, tooling doesn't move and is repeatable

Currently reworking my POS Chinese Syil X5 CNC mill, to correct all the geometric errors.
After measuring the errors in the assembled machine, I set about removing the cosmetic scraping (that appears to have been done with a hammer and chisel, to hide the angle grinder bodging) and correct most of the error by re-machining the faces, in preparation for final alignment scraping.

I find it pretty interesting that yoy can mill a mill on a mill. This Is how they would make mills, and somehow get better accuracy each time, probably through scraping.

63 tooth done, trialled it with a marker first.
Started the 127T, I cast this blank about 2 years ago now. If I muck it up I've got a nice piece of 20mm ally plate I can get another out of...better material too. It's all good practice either way.

127T done, not perfect but very close, I think it moved on the Arbor slightly during a cut. Think I will do it again from the better material. It's noticeably louder than the 100t it replaced and rings quite a bit.
M16 X 2 thread cut to test it out...delighted I can finally cut metric threads. One more thing (mostly) scored off the project list.

Maybe glue a couple of pieces of flattened inner tube rubber to it with contact cement. Or car sound deadener if you have some. Self adhesive flashband possibly.

Have a look at this thread where the issue is extensively discussed:

Just in case you are not aware, 15mm plumbing fittings are 1/2" BSP. So are old wash basin or sink taps.
