A little late in the day, but I have had to get the bottom saddle ground. As the main bed was re ground it has dropped the saddle with respect to the under side of the bed. Due to this when you clamp up the bottom plate onto the saddle there is movement between the saddle and bed. I am also going to rind the saddle face that moves on the bed.

I have over ground the sable and will set up with some 0.02mm shim.

After a lot of research I have come up with a cost effective a belt for the for the cutter. This works with the existing Sherline pulley. 4 MM Green Polyurethane Round drive belting

This comes in open strips and is welded with a small amount of heat. Done test and the joint is very strong.

Shims cut for bottom saddle all from 0.02mm brass.

Waiting for saddle to come back. Not sure how many I will need. Easily cut with a shard blade.

Not sure of the width, I will wait for the saddle to come back before I cut.

Bottom saddle dead stop ground away to fit around new ball screw bearing mount.
This is adjustable and is a mechanical stop to stop you hitting the tooling and damaging it.

Someone has asked how I did the lettering in yellow. This is simply kitchen towel, rolled up, tapped and a flat pushed on it. Sooooooo easy. Needs about 3 coatings.

Got a 3/16th key for the shreline head stock. Sherline stated 3/16th but this is too big.
