Hi all, just a quick thanks for your continued support. I just made
it to 73, and finally got off my duff and built my first wobbler. Heck,the
darn thing even runs !!
Reading about you fellas getting things built, got me to stop talking and start turning and milling the parts. Now I've got to get serious
enough to build something better.
I've got three metal lathes and I converted a Gorton pantograph into
a mill. Weighs about 1,000 lbs. and works with 3/8th cutters. There
seems to be lots of 3/8th bits around, so I think I'm safe there. It
was missing a lot of parts, but enough there to make the mill. I put a speed control on the motor which works fine except at slow speed it bogs down some. Anyway It does the job, even if a little slow at times.
So, now you guys have started something here.
A VERY BIG THANKS ! HOTCHIP
