    Talking Chinese spotting technique revealed! (I could not resist)

    Hi!

    The last Chinese tool I scraped! I'll never do that again.
    I got that video from an unknown source.

    Murdering a banana seems to really upset the cat for some reason.

    That's very funny Nick.

    I've just spent all day testing a spindle into a tailstock height alignment. Thinking I was going mad. I pulled the test chart, they claim 0.015mm. I've checked it 3 different ways, and I get about 0.26mm tailstock too high. That was on a 6 metre between center CNC lathe at several hundred thousand $.

    I'm convinced I'm going to fly cut it and scrape it in tomorrow.

    Everyone knows you cant use a Cavendish for blueing.
    It has to be a Plantain for accuracy.

    Hey! We can buy bananas here in Germany. You confused that with the GDR (German Democratic Republic) where they had bananas once a year.
    That's like Americans coming to Austria and asking where the kangaroos are.
