New shop started

It is a mechanical device that requires less effort to smash your finger than swinging a hammer!
Can稚 wait to get it hooked up

Does your Mill have variable self feed ? Id feel right at home running that shop. Ive used a Bridgeport and the lathe with hydraulic feed... Love machining parts.

 

[plastikosmd]

The abene= for z you would power feed via table (not quill or head)
Swi bed mills= power for z by moving entire head. There maybe a quill feed also but I don’t use it

I don't know what I would need it for, but I want one.

ah, the lure of a good tool
just kind of cool to look at, though I bet that would raise heck with my tinnitus.
Kind of like your own personal MRI machine...
bang bang bang bang bang bang bang eh?

boy did that go over my head but still enjoyed it

Sorry d, Didn稚 mean to be cryptic. Z is axis or the feed up and down
(X is left-right, y in-out)

The mills have power feed on all axis-ie throw a switch and it will cut automatically.

On z axis -The mills can operate like a big drill press or entire head or bed can move up/down under power

Variable with rapid traverse (double speed) on all axis (sorry sono, thought u were just asking about z)

thanks, that sounds like fun. So power traverse, not spinning wheel around on x, y and z axis.
Always liked the precision of this skill, and never tried it. Instead I do a little woodworking and build birdhouses.

what a dream shop you have. I can't wait to see what treasure you bring home next.

New jeep haul (Doesn稚 look like much but some rare stuff)
Factory hard Cab/doors (rust free and good glass)
2 stick pto (pto to front and rear, an upgrade for my rear only setup)
Tranny w accessory overdrive, maybe I will hit 60mph now!
Complete Stratton lift 3point lift. This lift sits under the jeep and thus keeps the bed free. Rare
Plow and front winch

Should make the Willy痴 even more fun!

Pic of jeep for those on pm that asked
1963 cj5 Willy's

Bought this over sxs or kubota alternative
Better for me, same size as neighbor痴 rtv1100 but better off and on road. Pto, (now 3pt hitch) plow, winch etc

I use trailer for gravel and rocks/ dumping as I never liked loading my gator w a front loader. I prefer to use the beater trailer!

Jeep bed =I don稚 use a back seat so it is similar size to his rtv and fine for my fire wood, chain saws, gas tanks etc.

I don稚 baby equipment but i tend to have a lot of rock projects. Loading and dumping rock
=I would wince too much in anything fancy!)


(Jeep was also 1/3 of the price)





Trailer in question with 1/4 ton or more of rock from this week

 

[Big Barn]

I really like that tub style trailer.
