I'm looking for a small piece of mild steel, preferably free cutting for a project, 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1-3/8 (inches).
When finished it's supposed to be a four way tool post.
It's an exercise in marking out, milling, drilling and tapping. Not intended to be the best/cheapest way to get a 4 way toolpost.
See how defensive I get in these Newsgroups?

Most of my stuff is bar, but I can ask at our local machinists on Monday and try and blag a piece or two...

If you are anywhere near the M1 J 24/25 area pop in and raid our scrap bin.
BTW it's best to make two or three as it's easier to swop tool posts

Thanks for the generous offer John, I do head out that way from time to time, but there's nothing on the radar to suggest when I might head that way next.

Thanks for the kind offer, I think I'm going to try the Salford contact, I get that way quite often just now.
Seperate topic, an old gent is having a clear out, are you interested in old Petter/Lister engines and spares (single cylinder diesel - there might be a twin)? Location is Lancs near the M6
Steve
Like asking a model engineer if he's be interested in a Myford lathe ?? :-))
I replied off-list as well.
Thanks
