Jpower, you won't be able to flute without a mill and an indexer or rotary table. The handle I bored the radius into the handle to match the head, then used a center in the spindle to hold it in line with the head while I welded, that way I could square it up in two planes.

Nice work. You may have mentioned this somewhere else but what size and brand is your mill? Sorry if you have mentioned this earlier.

Great thank you. I thought by the pictures the table appeared to be close to mine in size. I was just curious.

It's probably cold in your workshop. Things tend to shrink when cold.

couple of bits.
first is a re-purposed bench grinder, using idea from another thread.
made spacer so i could fit flap wheel to it.
works a treat now need to thicker spacer and rest for it.

second is quench tray for use with my tooling and cutter grinder, got old fire extinguisher cut base off welded bracket to it.

oh yeah forgot to say used grinder for cleaning up edges of quench tray.

Are you planning on painting the inside of the pan? May want to consider epoxy paint to seal the inside. Nice project

Gunrunner you need to order a set of these for the Z axis hand crank. Bill did you just spit coffee on your monitor? :rofl:
