Well, I tried to assemble the hole thing and the push rod threaded into my piston crooked... How is that possible I wondered. I did everything on the lathe. Oh, shit. No I didn't. My mini lathe was too small so I only center drilled the piston on the lathe. I drilled it on the drill press. I really need to throw this damn thing away. The table was tilted side to side. I straightened that today, but found the table is also slightly tilted front to back. GACK!!! Its not horrible for punching holes in sheet, but I guess I need to add a mill drill to my wish list for anything else.
