Dgehricke- this is a thunderclap to me!!! Holy crap I'm in love!
I mean, I would have always wanted a SOuth Bend, or Atlas, or Logan shaper.
But THIS is so small and cool, and would serve the same purpose...
And I think it would be so easily adaptable to a motor anyway! WOWWWW

I made the other wrench and two brass nut for the wheel cover it only had one. Still need to drill the handles so I can hang them by the grinder.

Today I finished off fixing the mill with a new Z feed handel. Added a bearing and a disk that I will later mark as a guage. The disk sits with orings on the top and bottom so I can turn it independently. Made a hub by turning down a chunk of steel.
Once it was the right shape I drilled out and taped for 1/2" ACME threads (so it will thread down on the feed rod and locked into place with a set screw), then 4 hole slots for the handle arms to go in about an inch.
Cut some 1" and 1/2" rod to make the handle. Drilled out the 1" and welded the 1/2" into it
Once the bits were cit I welded up the arms, turned them a bit and them welded them into the hub. Removed the treads from the narrow hub section and put a set screw in it
Put it on the mill and ajusted everything to check it. Disc moves with the feed and can be turned independently as well
Will have to figure out the best way to scribe markings on the dial disk using the indexing head. Maybe I can clamp a lathe tool on the mill face and use the Y feed (or X) to scratch the markings

I am working on a chuck backplate for my Heavy Ten, to go with this great six inch, three jaw chuck with two-piece-jaws I found on EBay...
I'm surprised to see the boss on my spindle to be so much bigger than 2.25 inches? I measure 2.262 inches?

The project for today was a motor pulley for my 14 1/2" south bend. I'd like to say that I whipped it right out....but I'm not that fast. I'm not a job shop, so I have to grind my own form tools. Spent most of the day working on it and still not done.
