You can make him stop using your photo You have to go through some steps with documentation etc. on flebay. Looks like the sale ended. If it comes up again you will need to go through those steps. I had the same thing happen with a motorized bike I built, some SOB took my photo and claimed it s...

Once you get a Dro on the mill those circle bolt holes will be a cake walk. Your engine is looking good! Norman

That is just friggin nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To go from power feed to manual on your design it looks a little more work than the system that Paula designed. Your design does make it so you don't permanently change the mill or good for anyone that doesn't have a lathe or don't want to cut on the feed screw. ;D Norman

Stuart, Do you have photos? ???

Well don't feel bad you can fix that pretty easy. My new Dro on my metal mill died tonight less than 2 months old working one minute and the next the read out just turned off no power inside of it? Checked the fuse which was good. Put a meter on the end of the power cord that goes into the read...

Go ahead and machine it. If it don't turn out good you can redo it. Machining it would be good practice if you screw it up at least your trying. Did you soot the shaft before you did the cast? Sometimes a little heat to the aluminum will allow the aluminum to expand a little so you can press...

I'm enjoying watching you build your lathe Woodnut. I've built a few of the gingery tools, shaper, mill, and dividing head. I've since got the machining bug so bad I've invested in more tools, a G0602 lathe and a G0619 mill and a bunch of tooling to use those machines. I found the foundry one...

I know that the grizzly power feed, even when the direction lever is in neutral you still feel the drag of the motor sort of a fine jerking feel in the hand wheel, must be the motor's rotor going by the magnets. Paula's clutch makes it all better!!!! Paula's spindle lock is also well worth the...

Well it's been only about 2 months since I bought the G0619 mill. I've built a stand for it out of 2" sq. tubing, I think it turned out pretty good at least for me. I've added a couple of things to the mill. One was a clutch for the power feed and the other is a spindle lock both were from a...

Paula, I did your power feed mod. it works very well!! The dia. measurements were dead on. The changes I made were to the length of cutting the mill's feed screw, I didn't have to cut it quite as short as the plans show. I think it was 0.094 less than shown. But your drawings worked great. Thank...

You guys need to check out the casting section on this forum. It's all about what comes out of the sand. Home casting is a hoot! I've built a few things from castings, but no engines so far. But I probably will someday. My foundry is powered by waste oil very cheap to run. All of my foundry is...

Very nice!!!! I just purchased a G0619 mill with that power feed. If I get brave enough I want to do this to my mill. I noticed you have a Dro on your mill, would you mind putting up a few photos of your install? I know this thread is old but I hope you still come to look from time to time. How...

I purchased a Grizzly G0619 mill on Oct 21 the price on this machine just went on sale after I bought mine.. When I purchased the mill the price was $1495.00. I happened to be in Missouri right after buying that mill, my daughter got a Christmas flyer from Grizzly while I was there. That same...

I stopped at Grizzly and they DID give me a refund for the sale price so I promptly bought more tools! I have to say that the people at the grizzly store will do their best to please their customers. My son at the Grizzly store in Missouri. If I could have fit this mill in my shop this is the...

No I won't do that. The people at Grizzly are very good to deal with. The reason I'm in Missouri is my Mom passed away the day I got my mill. The mill got to Amarillo, Tx. on a Friday the trucking co. called and set up delivery the day before for Monday. I wasn't going to be home, I tried to...

John, I can tell your bitten by the machining bug!!! Start saving your extra money you will be buying a lathe and mill someday. You WILL out grow these home made machines. The building of the Gingery series is a good way to learn at home. I went low buck on the start of my adventure of metal...

If I were to make it again or improve it? Make all bearing roller bearing no bushing. The spindle would have some sort of timken tapered roller bearing and adjustable for end play. There's no way to adjust out the feed screw backlash, so make that different, maybe with acme feed screws. Use...

After building this mill, using it, making it work better, up grades to a 1hp motor (thanks Uncle Norman for the motor!!!) I broke down and bought a Grizzly G0619 metal mill. I've been bitten hard by the machine tool bug ??? I went from a simple cheap metal working tools to costly machines in...

The bike is a 1995 ultra classic 30th anniversary edition 1973 of 2000 first year for fuel injection, which has been changed to thundermax fuel injection with auto tune. I'll be riding this bike to Sturgis South Dakota to the Rally this Friday. The offer still stands for the help.
