My latest project. Gingery horizontal mill
Gadget:
I finally had some time to work on the Gingery mill recently. I cast the compound spindle and bearing cap and machined the swivel base. The book said to drill three holes on a radius then cut with a coping saw for the radius slots but I cheated. I mounted the trim router with a 3/8" carbide bit to the lathe and cut the slots while the base was still bolted to the face plate. Much better slots that way.

Bernd:
Nice job Dan. I didn't think you could get such a nice finish with a router since they have such a high rpm. But those slots look very clean. :thumbup:

I still have two sides of the two story section to paint Bob. I tore a muscle in my arm trying to extend the heavy wooden ladder and had to take a break to heal. That was a week ago and the bruising is getting worse daily. UGLY!!
Brass_Machine:
Sucks about the arm. Hope you heal fast...
Parts look fantastic. Any chance you can take a picture of the mill with something so I can get an idea of the size?
