    Milling Machine

    Milling machine: Made using a trim router with a 1/4" chuck. Uses router bits for working with wood. Milling tools with 1/4" shanks can be used for metals. Horizontal range of motion is 200mm in X and Y. Vertical range motion is 80mm. Vertical range can be re-centered up to six inches higher in 2-inch increments to accommodate larger work pieces. There is a work light built into the cross arm. Tool speed is made variable by use of a homemade speed controller made out of a dimmer switch.
