mini mill

[dallen]

I know all that, my problem is I don't have a grinder and since I have been out of work since january I have lots of time to do something like this. I also found out that about the one minute of scrapping and 4 of sharpening. the file that I ground last night cut a lot better today after a few minutes on an oil stone even thou I worked on it last night with a diamond file.

I pretty much stopped on the mill as I don't have anything to actually check the dovetails with, there is an outfit that sells castings of different items and one of them is a Straight Edge I am going to look them up and maybe get one or two just to see if I can do the thing. Be a great casting project for sure.

Anyway the mini mill is in a lot better shape then it was now, and I hope to be able to learn more about scrapping and how to do it, if nothing else just to do the decorative. plus I have three lathes that can use a little scrapping in the cross slides and such, CAC Tool's, well they ain't so cheap just sloppy

Thanks Rick for all the information I downloaded the sketches so that I can save them.
