Hi all, first up I seem to have a habit of not finishing projects, but having said that I really hope to bring life to this little mill that I have acquired.
The plan is to use it to finish a few other projects I have started and for some general tinkering. I plan to keep the original spindle for general steel and limited aluminium machining, but also build a high speed version that will bolt on to allow better machining in aluminium, which is what I plan to mostly use. I have a small backyard casting setup so the plan is to be able to cast rough parts then finish machine, all in the comfort of my own shed.
Enough talk, here are the obligatory before shots, unloading off the truck and now sitting nicely in the back of my shed.
Not much more to report for now, first up will be to retrofit new encoders to the existing DC servos. I have a plan that I hope to start on the weekend.
Cheers.
Russell.
