    Thanks Ken

    I think you're right in saying that the base has been exessively machined, the spec for dim 'H' at Hare & Forbes shows it to be 105mm this one measures 101.6mm.

    I can't pack the table and spindle up because that would foul the table locks.

    Looks like I'll just have to bore a hole in the mill table ! ..... and then I could thread it and use the spindle to bolt the RT to the mill.

    Nah ... that wouldn't work .... the threads not long enough.

    Where's that Dremel ?

    Pull it apart and shorten the bit in the lathe.... It comes apart from the table...

    The table runs on a tapered roller bearing...

    Wonder if that is the reason you were given it,cant you just pack under it to get it clear of the table.

    That fixed it Did the bottom of it look like it was factory ground? I am just wondering if it was a factory fault or someone had machined the base.
