JPG will check tomorrow
Mike- I can push out a bit, maybe 1/8” no problem 1/4” might be a bit much.
The rest of setup looks normal?
Thank you both it’s a slow crawl to finish line

JPG- you were right, I pushed collar back, didn’t get 1.125 but got it pretty close. Not sure how you could see that, many thanks.
Mike- you were right as well and I thank you as well. Pic below shows the workable solution.
I’m guessing no dado with this set up though I may make an insert.

Are you sure you don't have a 510 arbor there. The MK-VII should use a 500 arbor which is shorter. The dado arbor is completely different.

This is the end….my only friend…. Well a little Morrison always puts me in a good mood. I claim this VII did and done. I’m sure I will have some fine tuning and questions. Want to thank everyone for their support.
Without this forum is would still be just a bucket of rust.

Looks top notch Mike.
I'd be almost afraid to use something that clean and shiny. :)
