Good stuff this.I cut the back plate of the spindle spacer weldment today.
I haven’t surfaced the plate yet, I intend to weld the spacer first and then surface it front and back on the manual mill to ensure parallelism.
I cut and fitted two keys to Z spindle plate, they are a slightly interference fit and needed tapping home with a hammer, the corresponding keyways in the spacer plate are a nice tight slip fit.
