To be honest what caught my eye was the dividing head mounted to the face of the milling machine. In looking a bit more it appears to be a Fredrich Deckel Milling machine. Both appear to be very similar to my Tos FN20 milling machine that was made in Czechoslovakia, because being a communist...

I want one too, but... look at the price on ebay...

In a direct answer to your question...No. What challenge would that be? Remember, Canadian Hobby METAL workers? I am working metal into a shape by beating it into submission with a mallet. True satisfaction. TonyK. Grimsby Ontario Canada.

Pulley drive belt covers. The Ammco shaper was missing any kind of belt guard cover and as I studied many pictures of different variants over the years. I considered making a pattern and casting a cover. The issue is the size of the cover and number of holes through it. Gravity casting on a...
