MONDAYIS A BAD DAY OF THE WEEK NO MATTER WHICH DAY IT FALLS ON.
In a rush I did not check the mill over before I started cutting the first Dovetail. The spindle lock was loosened from c/boring last night. Dovetail cutters cut on all edges. The force on the angle pushing down dropped the spindle on each cut. Flange is almost cut completely off. I could have stopped but I wanted to dhow the new guys what can happen.
Pic #1 is both the old and the new (right). Notice the two flanges. An old lesson learned yet another time.
Pic#2 is the new part, this time with those cute radii.
Pic #3 is both old and new. We are ready again to do the dovetails.
