I knew this wasn't safe... now I'm gonna be checking out mills. :laughing:

How do you accomplish the bronze bushing? Mill the block, then press it in and mill the I.D. for the shaft? Start with a piece of bronze tube?

Ya that's about it. Machine the bushing then press it in then use a reamer to get the size perfect. That was the little mill in the thread. I've since upgraded to the full size model. The bushing is a self lubricating one. But I also added an oil hole as well. It was a fun build. Time for you to go Internet shopping again :laughing:

I was checking out the drill/mills on Grizzly yesterday, but I think I better pay my taxes before I declare it 'Mill-ertime'..:D

I was looking at these notchers and thought I should be able to use a drill press for this. I needed to notch 1/2 pipe at 45%. I tilted the table to 45% and clamped my vise in place. On the third try I had a good cut. It was more time consuming than a notcher but It worked. the first two tries were not accurate because I use the wrong size whole saw.
