Machining the large angle plates on the horizontal boring mill

Published 2024-07-10
The Defiance boring mill chugged along getting the newly built angle plates flat and square. I took it easy with the speeds and feeds since this was my first milling job with the mill. The 5" face mill did a great job and left a nice surface finish. I hope you enjoyed some HBM action. Thanks for watching!

    That's one powerful machine. Great job on the giant angle plate Tom. Also, Kayos has you trained well. Won't be long he will have you getting him an air-conditioner.

    Nice one Tom. Can't wait to see those babies earn their keep. Mr K was probably too hot and tired to play today. Thanks for the video.
  • G'day Tom. How bloody cool is that mate. The big old girl lives to eat steel another day. You've got to be happy with those results. Cheers Tom, Aaron. PS: poor chaos is feeling that heat.
