Don't be afraid to do this !! This is the very first thing I ever did on any machine tool in my life, and it came out perfect, thanks of coarse, to the great guys on this forum who talked me through every step. JUST REMEMBER, make sure that both ends of the spacer you make are true to each other, as you can't trust the threads to hold the plate true.
JR, thanks for the info and sharing your experience. The issue is I don't have a proper working chuck to make a spacer. Sort of a chicken-and-egg, catch-22 scenario. Maybe I'll just turn down the spindle a few thou, that'll solve the problem
