I switched to a 5/8 roughing mill and that thing ate it up. I could take a .500 wide cut at .250 fairly fast without a problem. #encomillingmachine #howlindogforge #hobbymachinist #manualmachist #backyardmachinist #shoplife https://www.instagram.com/p/CQR5gbgpLztBXH07najgFSjiT_Ron2bpahpK2I0/?utm_medium=tumblr

I ground a hhs tool for one of my fly cutters and tried it out. Cut well and left a nice finish but is a bit slow. #manualmachist #hobbymachinist #howlindogforge #shoplife #backyardmachinist #hobbymachinist https://www.instagram.com/p/CQR4zIkJCqNdD2BzPDGTkHb0d_vvLb3yECNbu00/?utm_medium=tumblr

The knee cover stop was missing on this bearing bracket on the Y axis. I cut a flat, drilled and tapped a socket head cap screw. That should do it. #howlindogforge #encomillingmachine #backyardmachinist https://www.instagram.com/p/CNviU16pku8_FkCdkDiwHD0-vt4CwA4gDzt-iA0/?igshid=r02ktrvhvka2

So last week I picked up a little project. Was such a deal I couldn’t pass it up. #howlindogforge. #backyardmachinist #shoplife #machinist https://www.instagram.com/p/B-IjyN1p0ciN73XwapH1gsy2YR1EVFcLjkFBzQ0/?igshid=3rvre3en3j2c

Lengthened the brake handle and cut a flat on the receptacle. It should work better now. #howlindogforge #shoplife #backyardmachinist https://www.instagram.com/p/B87YKHKJxJJ7PJ8Coa8yLntUOgzUSsdqtwoqo40/?igshid=1htc8vht227qr

Here’s another Kennedy set. It’s my workhorse and in my lathe section of the shop. #howlindogforge #backyardmachinist #manualmachinist #hobbymachinist https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uosV5JR_4wdqDnDGw1rze8O9Od2qg9aQMp4I0/?igshid=1h0qqfv5lyl7q
