I'm still a wet-behind-the-ears metal man. I've had my mill for about 2 months now and am still learning how to do things.
I just received my PM Research model #2A engine. While looking at the main chassis casting and deciding what order to do things in I'm trying to determine which way I should start this as to not bollux it up from the git-go.
What I am thinking to do is jig it up on my mill table to make the back of the casting as close to level as possible. Then machine the three surfaces that need to be in plane with each other. I figure once I've done that I can mill the bottom of the mounting feet and top of the casting perpendicular to the planed surfaces as well as to the specified height. This all can be done without disturbing the setup on the table.
Is my thinking correct here or an I making this too hard or missing a step?
