Hemingway Quorn Mk3

Looks great! What did you cut the graduations with? I have a part I want lines like that on. I've done it on other things with an engraving type bit, 90 degree point v-shaped, but I think that yours looks better. I have an indexer, so that part is set.

I used a 60 degree v-groove end mill. The tip snapped off pretty much immediately so I had to lower the quill a few thou, and recut the first few indices after I got around all 360 degrees worth.

Mocked up most things that major machining was completed on.

You might want to do what I did: get an old granite surface plate, diamond drill it, and mount your Quorn to it...

You don't even need an old one! Woodcraft sells a 12x18 sub-$100 that would be a great base.

A few parts made/updated. Ongoing work on the "Workhead Assembly".

Main casting, rocker arm with differential screw stack to adjust in tenths, and a collet that will become part of the assembly to lock the tilting mechanism.

This is one heck of a build... hats off to you for going for it.
