Is there Going to be a Lathe annex to the vice museum by any chance?
I have my Boxford up and running now. I started making some hand wheels at the weekend for the Minilor. I'm Waiting on some end mills on the slow boat from China to arrive and can make the slots for mounting the handles on thier spindles.
Btw 2 1/2" Ali Bar is a bit buch for a rage chopsaw. It did it but it was difficult to hold it without vibrating out of the clamps. The paring tool I have is for the little lathe and wasn't man enough either, so they are getting hacksawed off the bar. I really need to get a bandsaw.
Not sure what the plan is for the Minilor at the moment. Its got the milling attachment, so it will probably just do light milling or small non ferrous stuff. It really too fast (300 -5000 RPM) for anything else.
