@Redbeard I've been hiding behind the dial gauge and the calipers, squeezing gibs and hydraulic oiling T.F. out of a widdle baby POS 5,000 HF Central Machinery Lathe for days and days @ a local makerspace down the road. Have Y'all seen/Are you aware of Uncle Tony's Garage on YouTube? He posted a video 8 days ago directly relating to his own personal Gobsmacking over Universal Joint dust cap woes. He's not dealing with O.D. / Chamfer damage in the box, nevertheless, I'm glad to know I've not gone clinically insane with these preposterous delusions. @TollKeeper
