That why I use a milling machine! In case you've nver seen one, you
CLAMP the work in place and then move the table (with the attached work
piece) to the correct position. I suggest you go find a book on milling
machines and read up on them. It's a very usefull machine.
AHH! So *that's* what I've been doing wrong these last 40 years or so -
dang - shoulda read the Bridgeport manual before I went to All That
Trouble. I kinda thought I shouldn't have to use the travelling crane and
bosn's chair every time I wanted to make a little piece for something.
Hey! I bet I can unbolt the LeBlond spindle from the shop wall and
it'll stop flinging parts all over the place when I try and turn
something...
This List is *such* a great resource...
