It doesn't look like too big a hole, how about drilling it out tapping and putting a steel plug in it? The two smaller holes could also be fixed this way. Regards, Matthew. |

It goes blacker with age One of the half bits got knocked off last week lasted over five monthes . |

Thanks Jeff - yes that looks rather like the table on on my Bridgeport. Still functional though :thumbup: |

While I was waiting for paint to dry on the die filer I had a potter about with the vice. I decided to mill a pocket and Loctite a piece to fit. Here is the result. In hidsight I should have just made the pocket square, this would have saved a lot of effort. the other smaller holes are filled with epoxy metal. The bit was a light press fit on the width and height so with the Loctite I don't think it will go anywhere. Once the adhesives are dry I will skim it and scrape it all flat. I got to use my new tool that arrived in the post this morning. Anybody else use a similar endmill/face mill? It worked well in cast Iron. BTW the equally crusty vice in the picture is the one for the AEW mill. |
