I really like the edge sanding mode, I can see that as been really useful especially for putting uniform bevels on long edges

Back to work on the MF tractor trans. So far things are looking pretty good. Still have two syncro's to check, and then start putting things back together. Thinking the engagement issues are mostly worn out clutch linkage. Still have to go through the clutch assembly itself, but I made up some new components for the Peterbuilt linkage which did wonders for it. Hope the old timer brain remembers how this thing goes back together. Did take a lot of pics, and part position and alignment marking.The big leaks were identified and should be fixed on reassembly.

If you do much fabricating, you'll be amazed at how much quicker it will be to clean up and remove stock. After I finished mine, I kicked myself for not having one long ago. Bench grinders, even 1 HP units are no match for these machines. I was afraid the belts would be expensive and always needing replacement but found out that is not the case.
I use good coarse belts and remove the tension as much as I remember to.

Taller legs for the coffee machine so it drains properly. Waiting for the M10 studs to arrive Monday.

Started building columns to replace the thick stucco ones we have on our back porch. Cut 6 bases that are 11 x 11” out of some .234” plate I got as drops from the local steel supplier. Will weld 3x3x3/16 tube and then the top support.

I dont really do much of anything yet. This was my first fabrication project. My son's welder, a garage sale drill press and another garage sale disk sander are all the tools I had, so this seemed to be the next logical step.
Now I'm working on a forge, and the next project will be a hydraulic press.

This turned into a much bigger project than I intended. Aim was to oil and stick it under the shelf unit until I move up here permanently next year. It was pretty stiff, looked awful and was full of chips.

Several hours later..
If I get another d675 that I'm bidding on then this one will get sold, if not it will do just fine as a second vise for holding long parts

It was such a pain indicating the cheap tilting milling table because the mounting ears were so uneven , just rough casting Took about .065 to clean up the surfaces . After that it was much easier.
