That's pretty neat. Does it have a method to lock it down?

Eric,

Its taken from a design published in MEW, October 2008..err no it doesnt have a means of locking the table, although if needed I could add something  I guess.

I decided to make one as my 4 in table is too big for holding smaller parts. This one is just right for producing radius ended con rods especially for my little steam engine I'm building ( another long term project )


After starting the thread, I realised you guys might feel a little short changed not having to read a full blown build, for which I apologise.. :coffee:

Its been one of those jobs that require all my attention and havent had the luxury of time to take any snaps on the way.. I can now get back to building the engine hopefully...Unless I become further distracted... :scratch:

Hey John,

That table looks like it could do double duty. Looks like you could ount a tool holder on ther to do balls on the mill.

Think about that a second.
