mill news

[chimp koose]

I am going to pick up my mill on Tuesday 21st . I will be putting it in my shop at work for now  until I figure out where I can put it in my home shop . I may also change to a single phase motor so I might require my machine shop to make some sort of adapter . I also need to figure how thick a pad to pour for it . The mill weighs 3300lbs on a 40" x 30" base.

Mine is on a 4" floor, and has caused no problems in over 20 years. I figured it out, and it's only 33 lbs per square foot.

I bought a single phase motor from Mcmaster Carr with a face mount. Made the adapter out of a GM one ton dually wheel center.
