This video just had to be to done in order to show most
beginning micro machinists (and even some not-so-new), that if you simply
cannot yet afford to add a "real" milling machine to your shop, you can
still perform just about every type of milling operation in the book by
using a small to medium drill press, after learning about some of the
special modifications you will learn on this tape.
That's not to say that you should forego ever obtaining a milling machine.
Instead, the goal of this video is to show you that you simply don't have
to wait for years until the funds for that 1000-pound monster are raised.
There are no special camera effects, cut-aways as work pieces are
substituted. You will see Jose performing the following: end milling, side
milling, cutting shoulders, slots, slitting cuts, spot drilling, drilling
tapping basic indexing on 5c spin jigs, and X & Y coordinate locating with
wigglers and edge finders and much more! Shop made tools will be shown as
well as construction information.
You will also learn the simple but very effective tricks used to transform
this 40 pound weakling into a capable milling tool. You will see the
author's special micrometer spindle/quill feed, accurate to .001" and
locking feature he built into this tool and how it is used. Don’t avoid
those projects requiring milling. Learn right now how it was done and
begin milling in less than a few
 days with the help of this new video. All
in all, probably the best video on this very "taboo" subject of milling in
the drill press!
