The original T-nut to bolt down my lathe's toolpost. Just one bolt wasn't strong enough, the post could slide around.
"Do you work in inch or metric?"
this project is unit hell... it's sticking together a modern chinese clone of a 1960-designed Swiss lathe toolholder, to a 1990 taiwanese clone of a 50's american lathe.
Milled the first few cuts, boring the round boss
Bored, pin hole drilled.
Test fitting in the compound slide.
Turning the pin
Pin pressed in
Test fit
Toolpost re-assembled and mounted

battery life. ingress protection. time between zeroes. hardened jaws.

yeah. I get cheapos work for a lot of people. But the more you use it, the more you're reminded it's a cheap one. Mits just work forever.
