New toy in the shop - engine related of course!

       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Well, I just took delivery of my latest "toy", a 1 1/2 hp mill/drill from busy bee tools. It was something I have been looking at for a year now, and decided my projects warrented a larger mill than what I had currently (a Bridgeport M head on a home made stand with an Enco X-Y table)

Here is a pic and another showing my small area of my wood working shop that I have dedicated to engine building and repair. My lathe and home made mill on the right and the new mill/drill on the left (the green thing).

I am just about ready to break it in, have about 15 diesel conversion heads to make up for various people... then I start on another old time engine reproduction!

Woohoo! What a hobby..

Not all the toys JIm... but enough to get me into some trouble..

I am still deciding how to tackle the crank in my 66cc twin, needs to be totally redone I think as its been welded twice and I dont think a 3rd time will hold any better than the first two... that will wait untill I can decide exactly how I want to do it.

what I need now is a heat treating oven... know anyone who has one for cheap??

It's lovely to have "all the toys" but to have the skill and knowledge to be able to use them; THAT'S what I would consider really sweet!

Congrats Andrew!

I bet you already have the ingredients for one...fur instance, do you have a fire pit. or bbq? Great....fashion a lid from non combustable material....insert the Moores 66 and fire it up! Voila - digitally controlled heating oven!!!!

I'm envious.

Do you have plans for your old mill?
