I am going to rebuild another press and would like to have input on my setup.
I have done one of these before and wondered if there is a better and maybe a more accurate way to do this.
I turned the adaptor for the thread and then using that for mounting the press on the lathe.
I then turn the bottom so I can use the steady rest to hold it. Then using a boring bar to open the bore to accept a bushing.
I then take the press out of the lathe and press the bushings in, put it back in the lathe and bore the bushings to the correct size.
Is there anything I can do to make sure the holes on the top and bottom are straight?
Thanks for any help.
