No biggee, don't stress it; bearings are weeks away. So when you get to it.

Looking good man. I think maybe you forgot about that 3/8" GITS oiler. I did too until the other day and no bigee in any case. I have just -nuts- quotes back on bearings from China, like an ABEC 7 7304DB - angular contact matched pairs, back-to-back = $US4.00. I'm like WHAT ! ? 55 year...

'K, thx. I might have a few of them made but price is the deal.

I'm playing the lazy card: when you get back is there any chance you could post the CAD drawing of the cross slide puller. I'm vetting a machine shop in China and I'd like to send the guy a real drawing. Also I found a bearing manufacturer who does ABEC 7 bearings so cheaply I wont' believe it...

Well yeah, it could but I've heard of only one person crazy enough to actually put, say, a LeBlond in a basement. And then there is the guy who actually dug it out of there, pretty much unaided if I heard the tale correctly.

5/16" NC, as shown

3/8" I think, I'll confirm later today

Thx for all that, here's your drawing tidied up somewhat. How'd you do the 0.6875" radius at the end, looks to me like a rotary table job?

Thx, an old version of Photoshop, 7.01 on my daily driver HP Z400, XP machine : -)
