Build Your Own Metal Working Shop from Scrap Book 4 - The Milling Machine

Especially designed for the developing home shop. It’s a horizontal miller, but it has the full range of vertical mill capability when used with the angle plate on the work table.

Extremely rigid and versatile. The work table is 2 3/8" x 12" with a 3/8" T-slot and it travels a full 12". Eight speeds from 43 rpm to 2430 rpm. The spindle raises as much as 6" above the work table and the transmission is designed to follow the vertical travel without straining the column or changing the belt tension.

Accessories included in the project are angle plate, face plate, fly cutter, tail-stand and compound slide assembly with which you can do large swing lathe jobs.

Still no need to look for outside help. It’s a miller and more, and you can build it your self.

The complete series of 7 titles describes how to build a complete set of machine tools at very little cost, using scrap metals. The series is in a fixed sequence, in that each machine helps build the next, but each book stands on its own, if you already have access to workshop equipment. As described, quite a lot of home foundry work is involved, hence this book.  Worldwide sales of this series now exceed 100,000, so 99, 999 other people like it..... All titles well illustrated. All Paperback.
