Thanks and a question or 2
[QUOTE=darkoford;97225]Metal mills saved from waste:
I was both fortunate and unfortunate in being left a U.K. copy of this mill made by George Alexander when my brother died last year.
It came with the vertical and slotting heads, horizontal shaft and bearing, as well as a set of imperial collets, dividing head and rotary table. There were also some MT3 shell mills and holders. There was only 1 pair of feed gears with it. I've turned some mehanite blanks and have obtained a set of Mod 1.5 cutters to make some additional feed gears.
Question. It looks from the video as though you have replaced the motor. Mine has a large 1.5HP 3phase motor being supplied via an inverter which trips if I try and use the low speed range of the mill. What motor/supply system do you use. Hope the information is enough.
Thanks for the video, it's the only other example of this mill I've seen
