yes the .003 press fit was in fear of cracking the cast iron and also thats why i used a dovetail cutter and not a woodruff cutter,to spread the pressure evenly from the press fit

Jezz.... I had thought 3 thou would be too much - certainly not so minor to be safe...... I like the dovetail idea to give it some room. Did you glue it in or just friction fit?

Very nice job. I'll consider that approach next time I ever do that. If I wanted to, I could fix my old 1880s lathe that way as the back gear is broken the same way.

oh no I didn't mean I'm in a tool desert ,I was saying for people that live in a tool desert I feel for them , the extra cost for machinery and not having stuff close by ,the shipping ,buying sight on seen , quite frustrating ,we need to go back to Vo-Techs and trade schools ,metal shop in high school.......we need good tradesmen ,whatever happened to apprenticeship and journeymen's training.......sorry I just got lost in my own thought. Oh we were talking about tool deserts.no ,where I am in proximity to New England's industrial complex is the place where an overabundance machinery can be had for cheap if not free
