The Hobby-machinist Die Filer

Now you've done it. I'm going to make it happen.

OK -- Done deal. I will just add it to the end of the build.

Hey Bill,
I was thinking of making the die filer my next project, but found a die filer with a 12 " table, all cast iron, yoke in a closed crank case with oil, table tilts 30 degrees each way, 1/2 hp motor. It has an over arm also. Is $100 a good deal for it?
 
Bill,

Your die filer is really fantastic. I was hoping to build it as my next project , but one just fell in my lap.

I am really impressed with yours though.
 
Still no bearing material. I went to a piece of Naval Brass I had on hand. It won't heat up enough to cause any problems. The shafts are going to be ground .500 303. One done, two to go.
