punch press

Do show pics of the Rhodes.
What Mill are you using.
The Horizontal was my first machine
It came up at an auction for $65 and a box of parts.
20 years have pasted and I still love that machine.

I put hemispherical ends on some shafts with a horizontal mill yesterday. They do all sorts of weird jobs.

The punch press looks fascinating. I'll have to get one for the corner of the shop, just in case.

I have an Acer Ultima manual which looked really well-cared-for when I bought it, but it has a couple issues (leaky seals, power downfeed doesn't work, etc.) that has made the low buying price seem less fabulous over time.

The former owner of my shaper still has his collection of Rhodes shaper data up on his site, including photos of the actual shaper I own.

The Rhodes and the Acer look like a nice machines.
Thanks for the website. lots of info and great pics.
I look forward to the ammco.next month and learning how to use it.
Maybe put a key in the gear I built.
