And this is where I left it by supper time. Ten down, eight to go: |

I think that you need to put a self reversing tapping head on your Christmas present list. I'd lend you one but you're miles away! |

Looking great so far. I also miss not having a table on my Atlas 12". You always come up with cool solutions and then execute them well. :clap: |

Andrew, Pekka, B85V, thanks! It's not so bad, maybe an hour and a half. No boss and nobody's paying me. Probably the only time I'll have to do this particular thing in the rest of my life. It will yield a boring table that I built myself. What I find difficult is concentrating enough not to make a mistake -- working from my head without a drawing or CAD, using this mill drill with lots of backlash and no DRO makes it challenging. In a small way, challenge equals fun. I guess that is zen! :med: Now mowing the lawn....... that's tedious! |
