Going back to slot cutting, when you said "plunge" was that using the manual quill feed or fine feed? Though one can happily use the manual feed for an ordinary drill, I would always use the fine feed with a slot drill.

Happy to report that mill is back in operation, taking on all that I'm (carefully) throwing at it. I'm happy, Amadeal dealt with it well and well done them.
 
I've discovered I can fit bearings

I did mean fine feed John. I only use the quill to move it over distance and not at all for milling.

Incidentally talking of computers, it probably doesn't fit here as all of you reading this have to be using a computer, but I'm surprised about how many of the brilliant engineers I have met at my club who are clearly technically excellent are reluctant to take up the use of computers and the internet. I'm an ex truck driver but now an IT engineer (currently unemployed ) and I'm coding a website for my club but when I suggested emailing our newsletter or even (shock horror) downloading it from a website there was a fair amount of opposition. It must be a generational thing, I am the second youngest in the club by quite a long way.
 
Actually I think it's more of an attitude thing. My mother's an avid user of email and the internet, and she's 82.
 
Regards,
 
Andrew
