Even more steel falls into my collection today as the end of term hits many people, especially seniors, who are ditching stuff to move house. I predict alot more fun stuff to come, so stay tuned.
First up in today’s lineup is this grand collection of enormous über-steel death-mills.
Now the little lonesome shell mill at MITERS has a bunch of buddies. Unfortunately, we have no tool holders for the Bridgeport that can even begin to swing one of these things. The shanks are all 1.25 to 1.5″ in diameter. Each mill is HSS according to their stamped labels. Some are chipped and require resharpening. Some are just weird – like that little stubby thing under the massive mill at the top. A few have six flutes.
These are all capable of serious damage if wielded properly (or improperly). I like this.
This set will go to MITERS, in the event we figure out something to do with them.
Next is…
I don’t get it. Regardless, I liked the 2 foot long slab of solid 1″ thick aluminum that formed the deck, along with the identical 2 foot long slab of 1″ thick aluminum next to it. These will be for the bots… whichever bot I will build that requires a solid slab of 1″ thick aluminum or two?
Stay tuned for the next episode!
