I improved some workzone callipers. My vertical slide DRO gave me some annoying wrist cuts from reaching past it, so cut the points off!
After grinding, I took one apart. The amount of dirt inside I think grinding actually cleaned it. The copper shim pinged off somewhere else. I retapped the stripped lock screw m4 for a grub screw and a new copper shim. Not decided where to drill tailstock body but made up a mount for the barrel.
Last week won some Sandvik 4mm parting inserts. I dont have a tool for them, plan to braze onto tube for deep trepaning cutters and grind clearance after brazing. This one will be 50mm
