Hello there FOLKS
Trying to drill accurately on a WOOD LATHE was like kicking a dead horse indeed
An erudite Well-Wisher on the Forum here directed me towards acquiring a small METAL LATHE, which we managed to get
An Walla !!! Problem solved
No more blunderings !!! The Lathe does assist with FACING, TURNING down Blanks, SQUARING etc. etc.
We still go to our WOOD LATHE for the Turning / Finishing / Polishing etc.
As an after thought, would have and should have looked at a little more advanced Machine to cope with THREADING etc.
This one has to have the GEARS changed MANUALLY for each PITCH of THREAD intended - which we still need to acquaint ourselves with.
That's another story for another Time !!!

PS : The 2 BOARDS U see are held in place with rare-Earth Magnets to keep all the shavings away from the innards of the machine !!!
