Power X axis for mill PLUS remote power unit for the lathe

[dgbreggin]

Very nice. I am currently in the process of making an X-axis mini-mill power feed, also inspired by the same youtube videos. I, too, am designing it to be below table-top-level. I did recently machine a large piece that would have interfered with above-table-level obstructions. (It was an extended bed for my mini-lathe.) I am designing a completely different engagement mechanism, though. I'll try to post something when I get it finished.

I particularly like your hand-held version. I now have another project... Excellent idea to mount the momentary CW/off/CCW switch on the motor. Probably leave the speed controls and display in a box that sits on the bench.
