Yes I like Sugar Gum too it looks good hard strong and heavy with a very distinctive smell. Great fire wood aswell its about the only wood I bothered to bring home to burn. I have a couple of logs to mill for the floors in the other rooms I just hope they are fiddle back to match the rest.
When I had the boards dried I showed a wood collecter a dressed sample. His comment was one day someone is going to pull up your floors and make some lovely furnature. I don't think he aproved.

Steve I tried to follow your advice about the lead screw. It was easier once I found out what a lead screw and the half nuts were. I have a dial indicator but could not see how to fit it. I took the screws from the bearing end wound the saddle to the tail stock end and locked the nut on to it then measured the gap beneath the bed and the bearing, with feeler gauges, then lowered the gearbox end the same amount and measured again 55/1000's. Does this method sound reasonable?
You probably think I'm as rough as guts after my galvanised iron shims but I was just using what I had to measure what size shims I needed then when it looked perfect I though why play with perfection.
