[QUOTE="Grash, post: 35350, member: 2680"] Thanks guys, very good info. Vince998, I shall try your method for depth setting once I have scraped out the holes. In my first attempt ( I imagined they would just drop into place, duh), I had them both attached to the steady plate, with ET98/1s, and intended to push the plate down onto the spacers ET162, to set them at correct depth. Some misalignment may then have startd them at the wrong angle. Perhaps I should leave in the oven for longer too. I tried measuring the change in dims for the spindles having left them in the freezer overnight, but hardly detect any change. Looked up the temperature coefficient for steel (16 x 10^-6) and this would give a change of 0.2 thou if the freezer is at -10 deg C. Not much change but I guess it must slow down the temp rise as it's going in, which should help. Off to bodge a scraper or I may try your micro sander, Greg. Watch out! Thanks again, it really is comforting knowing there's someone up there listening! Grash [/QUOTE]
