Black bar contains a lot less stress than bright drawn but would require machining before it's welded.

I don't think I even suggested machining before welding but anyway

I think you did John.

Good grief Jason - if I did it was for black bar. Which could be welded without but personally I wouldn't.

No need to machine black bar before welding, just angle grind the mill scale off where the weld will be.

Dave,

A little late in the day but you may find it interesting.

I have a UW1 and it would be possible to take a Myford tailsotck (later type ) and graft that onto a cast iron block. I have a picture somewhere. Even easier would be to find a tailstock raising block for a UW1 and graft to that.

Matt
