Really looking good! I built the lathe and mill in the mid eighties when the Dave Gingery books first came out. I learned a lot from the series and really enjoyed metal casting, it get's addictive. Charlie |
Gadget:
I also built the lathe in the 80's but never got around to the mill and shaper. |
Gadget:
I poured the first of two mill head stands today. This was the most complicated patterns in the build and it turned out as close to perfect as I think I will ever get. It's a split pattern with deep thin pieces that have to be pulled from the sand. I had my doubts that I would be able to pull the patterns without damage but they pulled very nicely. I also cut the bed ways and got the first two bolts inserted. The rest will be easy now since the ways will not move when doing them. |
Bernd:
Some very nice looking casting. It'll be interesting to see this machine from begining to end. Keep up the great work and posts. :thumbup: Bernd |

Very cool. I love to see people casting their own stuff. Building your own mill! Now that's classic! My hat's off to you sir! Eric |
