Glad you got it fixed. It sucks having a machine down when you need it.

Ody...ain't that the truth! Was getting ready to start cutting the arc for some brake shoes when...the starting capacitor went out in the mill motor. Damn...things like that NEVER happen at a good time! Waiting for new caps. The 1st of which won't be here until Sunday. Not twiddling my thumbs though...there's always something to do in the shop! What a bummer! Carl B.

The mill is back in business and finished the taper on the lower bar and clearanceing for the front pin and rod.
Next to weld the feet on and the sleeve.

No problems just solutions.

Another good day in the shop. After sawing the tapers they were sanded and filed. Might work a little more on them but the originals were probably a forging not machined.
