Hello, Thank you for the reply. I think I need to brush up on my maths!
I had a chance to have a 'play' today and it leaves a flat part at the edge going in about 2.5mm
Like you I have the woes of lead screws Harrison saw fit to have them from new, hmmmmm.
Ball screws are on my wishlist though.
It also cut from edge to centre. Just to rub it in there is a video of my lathe from a previous owner machining a dome a treat and I noticed he managed to get it to do it from centre out. http://www.edproject.co.uk/CNClathe.html
I am going to try and get in touch with him.
