Warco VMC fixing itself.

Having to use what is to hand meant a high speed router head with a 1/4 inch end mill clamped and attatched with a sleeve over the turrets spigot. This router has one speed of 26,000 RPM. The mill head is clamped by its spindle bearing housing onto the outer race of an old ball race bearing, which makes an excellent parrallel. The error on the head flange was originaly cancelled out by the opposing error on the turrets mating flange. All the flange mating faces had been roughly finished using corse files and even angle grinders by the factory, making it difficult and unpleasant to tilt the head, so they needed correcting. But fixing one fault threw up another.
