G'day from Melbourne

[Tony Z]

I was a member of this forum for many years, but a change in email address seemed to result in me being bumped off. So, I'm back with a new username and happy to contribute as best I can.
My previous user name was silversprings, and I am a keen Hercus man. Currently have 3 Hercus 9's active here in the workshop - plus a big Taiwanese lathe which does the grunt work. I'm retired and spend most of my free time in the workshop, usually re-manufacturing some part or other, often for older historic cars or stationary engines. You'd be surprised (or maybe not, given this forum) how popular I am with the members of the various car clubs I belong to....you know how it goes "mate, can you knock this up for me, it'll only take you 5 minutes". Yes, I say, 5 minutes of metal cutting, plus 3 hours to set it all up. You know the story. Cheers, Tony

Welcome back to the forum.

I know what you mean about dialing in a part to be sure you have it perfectly aligned and or concentric. And then hitting the dimensions you require. It is nerve wracking but then you sit back and admire the work you have just done.
