DIY mill...

[keith77777]

Sorry for my last post having pics all over the place I am an engineer not a computer operator. Any way my mill is progressing. I have to ensure the vertical slide stays at right angles to the bed.

For this I have made a triangle spar here it is colling down in the vice do not want to get burned fingers !!!

Sorry Lee , Robin and Irvin
You started this thread and the mill that I am making is not CNC at least at the moment. I have no access to machining capabilty except an old lathe which drastically needs new bearings. As I have allready said I considered the Westberry vertical mill design but here were several reports of chattering on the sliding column. Here is a better pic of my design inspired by the Stepperhead, Gingery, Multimachine designes.





Many thanks fer birthday wishes cheers Keith
