The two machines I'll be using are a manual lathe without a readout and an old bridgeport milling machine, it will all be done by hand and measurement. Currently I have to set three indicator when I make a cut to make sure I do not go out of tolerance, it is annoying and time consuming. First thing I'm doing, now that the financial year has begun, is get a readout, it's 2023, not 1923.
