I have an old school Allday (literally, it came from an old school) which put my back out lifting the tuyere and tank of the back of my truck. It is in a corner awaiting ressurection.

You must have a steady hand rob to get those cuts. And nice cuts for stainless.

A bit more done today   , worked on the air control valve spindle , this was turned and screw cut , then slapped onto the mill like so .




Two flats mill on the screwed section .




Then a section of spindle was milled away for the gate /butterfly .



And then a couple of hole were poked in .




Next a 1 mill thick disc was turned , this needs two slots milled . I used an old bearing race to centre the chuck with the aid of my Zero set indicator (Wilson copy) , just love that tool . 



Then the disc mounted and milled .




Nearly there .
