February 13, 200818 yr With a lathe and a mill you can make your own accesories. I started with a pair of large Angle Blocks that were a gift and drilled and tapped them for easier set up. photo 1 Then I needed an Indexer. photo 2 Then making a few extra parts, photo 3 I had a dividing head.
February 14, 200818 yr Outstanding - shows what a real machinist can do if he sets his mind to a task.
February 14, 200818 yr Author winter were always more or less slow times in the shop, so that was time to repair and build stuff for yourself. besides I love to make tools. probably cheaper to buy, but then I can say, I made that.
February 19, 200818 yr I love the K.I.S.S engineering on that dividing head. My old college instructor made one for a mini mill from modified plans in the home shop machinist mag, about twelve years back.. lots more detailed parts. Is this one good and steady like it looks ...?
