I was wondering if there was any reason not to crank the head over
90degrees and do some horizontal boring? I am sitting in doors at the moment plotting something and can't think of a reason not to do this. The work piece is to big to go under the head and have room for a cutter, so I am going to set up so the hole to be bored horizontal..
The mill in question is an Ajax turret mill and the power feed sometimes seems to do nothing. it's as though it had a gear with a tooth missing, certain places in the stroke it just stops but it does continue on it's own without any prompting. I don't suppose it has a clutch of some sort somewhere? I keep meaning to look online for a manual or a view of the feed assembly..I suppose i should just strip it and see.. rik
