Hoss Conversion Well Under Way
I turned the ball screws a couple weeks ago but didn't have a chance to do much else until today. I don't have a boring head so a lot of stuff went from the mill to the lathe to make the pockets and through holes the right size.... I have all the flat stuff done. Tomorrow I'll start on the round stuff.

I am planning on finishing the Z-axis ballscrew mount once I get the conversion done as I cant fit it on my lathe and its too big for my rotary table so I have no way to make the pocket.

I messed up the left brace a little but it turns out my mill must not be made the same as Hoss'? I have this bar that runs down the side with a ruler on it (see next pic)
