The CNC cut was good enough for the bearing surfaces. I only had to scrape one of the edge bearing surfaces to get the table and bed square to each other. |

Bernd, I have no plans for CNC on this mill right now, it will be a manual machine. |

Hi Gadget, I just wanted to say what a great job you're doing, I bought the books as they came out, but was in the military living on base at the time, so I just tried a bit of sand casting of an ash tray and a couple other odds and ends, just for the experience, and never did make any of the machines. I have those books memorized as they are chock full of wisdom and experience, and I've learned a lot from them, even without building the machines. I am greatly admiring your workmanship, and it is a pleasure to watch this mill go together so well and at a continual pace. I expect you will end up with a fine machine based on the quality of workmanship. Thanks much for the thread, and most of all, for the videos, I've known of lost foam casting for a while, but never saw it used until now. Great video. I hope to have a furnace together and be casting this winter, largely based on the motivation you and others have provided on this site. :thumbup: :jaw: :bow: mad jack |

I finally got a chance to work on the mill again. I cast the feed screw bearing support for the bed and mounted the feed screw. The feed is nice and smooth throughout the length of the bed. Dan |

Wow! I haven't looked in awhile. Glad I did. Very very nice! :thumbup: Eric |
