Description

The Milling Machine is also known as book 4 from the best selling 7 book series, 'Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap'. Especially designed for the developing home shop. It’s a horizontal miller, but it has the full range of vertical mill capability when used with the angle plate on the work table. Extremely rigid and versatile. The work table is 2 3/8" x 12" with a 3/8" T-slot and it travels a full 12". Eight speeds from 43 rpm to 2430 rpm. The spindle raises as much as 6" above the work table and the transmission is designed to follow the vertical travel without straining the column or changing the belt tension. Accessories included in the project are angle plate, face plate, fly cutter, tail-stand and compound slide assembly with which you can do large swing lathe jobs. Still no need to look for outside help. It’s a miller and more, and you can build it your self. Read more

  • Good book on a useful machine
This, like the remainder of the series, is a good book on building the particular item. It gives step by step detail on building the milling machine and requires no specialized tools that you can't make yourself. It does use the lathe from the first book and the shaper would be helpful as well, as the series is meant to be done in order. The layout of this milling machine is something you will not find in a commercial machine of this size. It is laid out as a “Lincoln” mill, but looks closer to a horizontal boring machine. This machine would give more and different capability than one of the readily available Chinese mini mills, so even if you have one of those this would be a worthwhile build. It could even be used for lathe type work. As with the remainder of the Gingery books, it gives step by step details on both construction and techniques for building the mill, and gives you’re mind some stimulation in the design and building departments. You can do a web search and find many examples of this machine built and operating, some which are highly modified. There is also a Yahoo Group devoted to the Gingery machines if you need further inspiration. I actually plan on building a machine inspired by this one, but to a larger scale and incorporating CNC. ... show more

  • Another great Gingery book!
In this book Gingery steps you through building your own table top sized milling machine and cutters to go with it. This is a great book for any person that would like to cast their own machine shop. Once you have completed building the milling machine, many of the tasks in Gingery's book (like hand scrapping surfaces flat) will be reduced down to a 15 minute job. This is a very versatile machine that will speed up your current working pace and allow you to tackle tasks that before would have been impossible. I would suggest that you make sure you also have Gingery's book on building a metal lathe because he uses the lathe to make many of the parts for the milling machine. ... show more

  • Interesting
Interesting read and good follow up in the Gingery series. Someday I may get around to trying it out but good source of ideas and techniques for how to fabricate complicated machinery.

This book is good but for those with good 3D visualizing embedded in their brains. The explanation almost purely verbal is not a strength for mechanics which are visual. Good ideas for making machines with simple and available materials. Would give 5 starts if there was drawings of how the parts are assembled together. Of course mechanics can figure that out. But, a good book should make that easier for the builder. ... show more
