| Next job was to machine the 2- standards
Again the flashing from the casting had to be roughly filed off before mounting in the 3- jaw chuck.
Once mounted roughly center the standard until its running reasonably true, turn the standard so that the feet are standing at 908 to the bed plate.
Bring the tool up until it touches the trunk guide, wind the carriage back and then turn the standard thro' 180* and then bring the carriage back and bring the tool up to touch the trunk guide, repeat this until both sides are equal.

Do the same with the standard feet until the tool touches both sides and then go back and double check the settings on the trunk guide and the feet.
Make a wooden plug that has a shoulder to be a push fit in the trunk guide cored hole, bring up the tale stock with a revolving head and pierce the wooden plug,lock everything up securely and then take very light cuts to the standard feet, .010 at a time in case the leg of the standard snaps.
Next step I turned the standard around and mounted it on the face plate, which can then be centered using the machine pointer and once running reasonably true start boring out the trunk guide, be careful with this as the tool bumps every time it passes over the open spaces in the trunk guide.
Light cuts are required as it can knock the standard out of line if too big a cut is taken, again about .010" cut.
Note that the last pic showing the boring tool that the standard is mounted on the large face plate, I forgot to take a pic when setting it up on the small one.
On this setting the Top flange can be machined to size and that completes the standard machining
Fellas ,
Please excuse the picture sequence I have made quite a mess of them .
