I have now managed to complete my set of dave gingery books on building you own machine tools ( i now have all seven)
a was wondering how accurate should the castings need to be made, he says you should try to make them as best you can now if say for instance the lathe was maybe not quite as accurately made as his(i am thinking about if I ever do any thread cutting) how well done will the threads end up , does any inaccuracies in the producion of the machines show up in the workpiece or do they in effect cancel each other out and end up not to bad:?
Many thanks in advance for your ideas on this
George
