Hi,

Is anyone out there a machinist or have access to a milling machine?

I have a lathe and want to make some ally vee blocks to mount onto the tool post so i can mitre tubes in the lathe.

Something like this:

or this:

Unfortunately don't have enough room for a milling machine and just want to notch some tubes!

Can do ally/steel fabrication so can add bits on to mount it to the post

Anybody?

@moog do you know anyone?

Ah nice, just got my hands on lathe but I didn't think of doing that. No milling machine though, sorry.

Sorry Max, can't think of anyone.

I could probably get names of a few recommended companies who could do it but the costs for one offs will be high. Have you tried Super Ted?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
