Today me and my assistant (pictured) got to work on a new "machining center" for the shop:
I recently got an HF mini mill to complement my HF 7x12 lathe. My first thought was to build another steel stand on casters for the mill (like the lathe currently has) but instead I decided to put the mill and the lathe on a new wooden bench. I think it will work better all around...
The new bench is 72" x 16" x 36" high. Yet to be added is a tempered masonite top and drawers/shelves. The lathe will be on the left under the air conditioner, the mill on the right, after the new bench is installed against this wall:
More tomorrow (with any luck!).
