I've just done conventional. I'm guessing climb milling for finish is

Actually...no. Its of concern with horizontal mill cutters as well.


Also, this lead screw is way to
worn to try it. I've got the materials for a new lead screw plus
nuts, just need to pull the old one, measure it again, and get to
work.

Ayup..climb milling certainly doent work very well with worn nuts and
screws.

I was marvelously fortunate when I snagged my old Larios Horizontal.
Damned old girl is tight as can be. I love it!!!!

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
