support for milling a long part

[Frank S]

My lathe makes a great support base when needing to mill extra-long parts
What I made my support piece out of was a 6x6 block and a 1" thick aluminum plate which just happened to be near perfect height to match the mill table, a .010" shim between the al. plate and the b lock completed the adjustment.



much longer and I would have had to remove my chuck
