Well, I need a 5/16 endmill. Thought I had one, but I don't. Had to order it... Hope to have it by Monday or Tuesday. Project on hold for a few days. Eric |

Another set back. Had a minor emergency to take care off. Hope to be back on it this weekend. Eric |

Fun read.... Looks interesting. Rather you than me.... However I'd much prefer this to re-lining a 12x8x3ft pond! Good luck, Take your time... No rush :thumbup: Ralph. |

Back on track. Sort of... Last night I had a little bit of time and got into the shop. I did get all of the holes drilled out on the plate blanks. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures... well, they would be pretty boring to look at anyway... I am hoping for time tonight to get the plates profiled and possibly get the bearing pockets bored out. We shall see. I promise to get pictures tonight. Profiling the plates will be slightly difficult as I believe I am just at the edge of my mill's Y axis limits (one of the reasons I am going to rebuild this mill). Eric |
| Brass_Machine:
Did some profiling tonight. Again, no pictures... Namely... it looks like garbage and I didn't feel like taking any. It has been a struggle all evening. The motor on this mill just isn't cut out for cutting anything but air. The motor constantly stalls and I end up blowing a fuse. So, I am out of fuses until I get over to the store to get some. I hope to get them tomorrow or Wednesday. I am having to do the profiling in sections. My mill just doesn't have the movement on the Y axis to cut it in one shot (stupid X2!). After the snowblower is done, I need to finish replacing the motor on the mill. I have built a new controller... I have a decent TM motor. I just need to machine up a new mount. Frustrated. Eric |
