If you look at my last bit you'll see that you use the chalk to mark the lead screw and its bearing, either end is OK, you need something more substanial to mark the saddle possition on the bed. Ian S C

Thanks, Gordon. I must be getting senile! I have a copy of Sparey's book, so must find it and read it.
