G'day Brett

I also have a lathe and mill but have not tried to make a mount as yet. I think the real sticking point will be cutting the worms accurately (unless you buy them). I have read a lot of material on how to do it but accuracy is the key. The rest I imagine would be fairly straight forward turning and milling operations. I would love to see it if you have a go.

Cheers Mark

I have a good metal work lathe and milling machine and plenty of electronics experience.

Has anyone else made their own mount ?. If so what type of design did you use.

Cheers,
Brett.
