Well done Norman, I admire the way you solved each problem you encountered on the way, and deserve the success you have achieved. I agree a machine vice would make a nice addition to your mill. Cheers David |

Congratulations Norman! :clap: :clap: :clap: There must be very few people who have designed and built their own vertical mill from scratch, including making all the castings. I also think a milling vise would add utility to your project. Toe cl(r)amps are pretty necessary too. Angle plates, etc, all needed, unless you have them already. Collet spinner, rotary table, all desirable. But the milling vise does seem like a really nice and not overly long project as the next thing to do with your new machine. :beer: |
