- In this video I will show you how to use the indexing head and read its scale wheel. Four holes will be drilled around our job all at 90° to each other, I will also show how to machine a “Spot Face” around the openings of each of the holes. During this work I have a bright idea which requires repositioning the indexing head on the table of the milling machine, I’ll show you how to realign the indexing head in its new position.

The Quill Handle is coming along great Jim. A lot more machine operations than one might think by just looking at the drawing.
Hello Dennis
Yes its funny how things normally become more complicated as you get into them.
There is still lots to do as you will see. Thanks again for your comments. Take Care Jim
Wow! Does your mill table turn in all 3 axes?
Hello Brockwood64
Yes the table on my Alexander Master Toolmaker twists rocks and tilts, it is so useful. I'm finishing off the rebuild of this machine, and looking forward to painting it a nice colour. But the problem is, its working now and I want to use it.
This milling machine is a copy of a German machine called the Deckel FP1.
If you want more information on this or any other machine a really good web site is www.lathes.co.uk/ he seems to have information on almost everything.
I had a look at your video of your workshop (you now have a thumbs up!), there is a lot of equipment and machinery in there.
What's it like now a year on? Is that Van Norman machine working now?
Take Care Jim
@@CYC123 Hey Jim. my 1st thumbs up. Thanks! If not for Stefan Goatteswinter videos, I might not have become aware of the Deckel & it's many features. These & yours are so versatile that it seems the only limit is the operator's imagination! Still restoring my Van Norman & accessories - but use my Table top combo all the time. Keep up the good work!
Hey Brockwood64 I tried to leave you a comment on your channel but you have comments turned off so I couldn't!
Its interesting looking at other peoples workshop, seeing a shelf full of car doors is I think a first for me. I'm more into old bikes, they take up a lot less space, and here in Old Blighty space is always at a premium. Hope the Van Norman restoration is successful. Take Care Jim
@@CYC123 Had to turn on comments - wasn't aware they were disabled. As for car parts: cars are my 1st love. So, parts collected through the years are for 64 Cuda, 64 F100, 70 Charger & 72 Charger. Lotsa car parts in the attic & woodshed. Woodshed is set up for building / restoring bass guitars. Started my machine shop (garage) to make parts for basses - but has progressed & grown. When I'm finally able to build my real shop: the fun will really begin! For machining I'm a hobbyist. All my machining professors are on RUclips. Looking forward to learning from you!!!!!!
In England someone who loves working on and driving cars is called a "Petrol Head" seems like you are one of those!
My son John, he rebuilt a guitar as a project at college, he was studying music, as there is little money in music he is now working in a warehouse driving forklift trucks! He is in a band called Cardinal Kings, they perform at pubs and other events. Our house is quite small and John has lots of guitars, I made him a special storage shelf where his guitars are held against the ceiling of his room.

Hope your workshop continues to grow, and you enjoy using it. Take Care Brockwood64 Jim
