Attempting to part off the end plates for the possible steam engine produced the most horrendous screaming chatter I have ever heard.
I really thought I had solved all these problems by using the solid plinth for the tool post.
I tried everything to try to solve it but nothing worked.
Then I had a thought, some time ago I had replaced the taper roller headstock bearings and set them to the correct preload but hadnt seen a need to touch them since.
The bearings didnt feel loose but Yep, a small increase in pre-load and and all is well in the world.
Back to parting like a dream.
