Simple question,
What is the swing of your lathe?
Please answer in terms of diameter and in Inches (mm/25.4=inches)
If you have more than one lathe you can answer up to three times. If you have more than three lathes, you suck, answer for the three you use most often.
Enquiring minds want to know!
Thick superglue works well. Make sure the plates are well deburred and sit tight together. I sharp rap with a drift will separate the parts, (heat can cause nasty fumes).
