T next task was to\nreduce the depth of the front horn block in the lathe so my four-jaw chuck got\na turn. Because I only wanted to effectively face them off. I cheated a little\nand fitted a short length of 3\/16\u201d silver steel into the tailstock, slipped a\nbearing on and used that to quickly centre the four jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"799\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0001-3-1024x799.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4631\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0001-3-1024x799.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0001-3-300x234.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0001-3-768x599.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0001-3-384x300.jpg 384w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0001-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Front Hornblocks reduced in depth on the lathe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next task is to remove a section of the horn guides to clear\nthe slide bars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0002-001-1010x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4632\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0002-001-1010x1024.jpg 1010w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0002-001-296x300.jpg 296w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0002-001-768x778.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0002-001.jpg 1263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1010px) 100vw, 1010px\" \/><figcaption>Hornguides now need reducing to suit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as funds allow, I plan to buy a mill to compliment\nthe lathe and boy would a mill make this task easier.
