Note to self - build a micrometer stand on a rainy day...
That collar that you made for the drill press sounds interesting Arnold. Like you, I have thought about disposing of the drill press since I almost never use it. But with a collar, it might pay its way.Did you post the information anywhere?Jim
Ok Arnold I'll let you off on the end of year thingee. I'm still betting she's dark and blonde . I taught welding for a few years. The greatest incentive to improve their welding skill involved a very heavy 9" side grinder and a half round bastard file (which was usually pretty dull). We called the grinders "South Georgia Milling Machines". Just focus and watch the puddle closely. Set your travel speed and rod angle by watching the undercut fill with the filler material. The closer the arc the better. I'm following along as I also have some ER? Collets and an R8 arbor that came with a milling accessories kit when I bought my mill. Haven't used them, however, now I'm getting ideas.See ya boy,Whiskey
