Havent had much time to do anything on the mill (busy at work) and still wokin on getting garage in order making ready for my new band saw. However the other night I cut my first chips to make these leg support mounting feet. I had purchased a few for bench project im workin on but returned them for $18 bucks . So I ended up buying steaks for the BBQ on fathers day . Anyways simple mill drill tap counter sink . So far machine is not what im used to tho...
However I tried to see if machine can handle a ½ pipe tap at low RMP range and it was a NO CAN DO..lol... I over sized the root diam and was only gona go to %70 prob thread still no can do . Motor wont geter done even with lots of Magic juice . ( the ole formula of tap magic) . Well Ended up finishing feeding thread by hand using draw bar wrench .
Btw the threads came out good dont look at last pic (bad lighting) ..look at pic before I added countersinks that one shows Quality of threads. Just sayin.lol..
