Insider tip....At the end point where 2 flat surfaces come together, if you plan to use a 1/4" cutter to do the work, drill and ream an oversize hole ( .251) at that location. The cutter finds a resting place and no chatter happens. Nice job bud. Really.
@@chris-builds I have a Denford Tom Senior like this one: www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=159948 I got it then decided to move house (double garage) it's in storage at the mo while the house gets built. Hoping to have it set up in a few months. I'm just a tinkerer with bikes and the mill is a nice edition to my lathe. Maybe a set of triple clamps at some point :)
Great Job! Thanks for sharing

How thick was the part sir?
About the same as the original part.
@@chris-buildslooked to be about 60mm
Nice work :) What size is the rotary table?
6”. Fixturing was very challenging but it’s the only table I have.
@@chris-builds Cheers Chris. I'm after a rotary table for my mill and that really helps me get a feel for what I need. Of to watch episode 4 :)
@@AutoBeta2T what mill and what work do you typically do?

@@AutoBeta2Tah nice! I’d definitely get a bigger rotary table. They show up on eBay pretty often!
