Why do you assume that I myself broke my new toy ?
Actually, I don't think it is possible that I did anything to affect that Keyed Bushing
in the Quadrant Assembly.
Maybe the "T-Nut" was loose and those Gears were wobbling.
Could that have done it ?
I didn't notice how that was put together until the bushing broke.
Gary tells me normal Lathes use a two key bushing there.
I have been wondering whether or not I could cut a bushing and then hand cut a
keyway with a file and thus make my own Keyed Bushing !
Was that bushing made with sintered metal for some reason other than economy ?
