Hi.
Just went to the workshop this afternoon to do some turning.
Had to remove the Vicmarc from the lathe in order to start a new project. I had been stationary for a week, where I had hollowed som small bowls and other minor turnings.
First of all it was allmost impossible to remove it. The bugger was tight and felt lige it was glued or something.
When i manged to remove the Vicmarc, I found the thread on the inside lige shown on the picture.
The thread is filled with burs and like tear out... don't know what has happened.
Just know the thread is in ruins.
Just have to tell, that I never tighten anything very tight on the lathe... just enough...:rolleyes:
Cheers
Kaj
