Thread: A Lee Speed stock

With the B/A tight into the inlet the unit can be turned over in the vise and the TG sat in between the fixing ears and lined up with the center mark on the underside of the fore stock and fine pencil lines marked for where the start of the inlet will be.



Then there is some short mark, cut and check intervals where the rear portion is settled into place, checking alignment regularly This is a slow process as a very small amount can be removed at a time as the T/G is slowly set down. One thing to remember with the T/G is that the rear surfaces must have clearance for eventual accuracy's sake. There was a bit of chipping with the grain structure at the initial mark out but as there is some depth to go yet that will all be removed later and as there is draft on the metal this allows for cleaning up all inleting as the final depth is achieved.



With the T/G in place there is still some depth to be realised.



This gap is how much the T/G has to be settled in yet but that will be for another day.
