Follow me through my life and the joy of Classic Toyota's.
This is the nut and bolt project we did in class. We learned about using a parting Head on the mill and creating an interior thread Wichita was trying to the patience. And to make it worse the instructor told us that is very rearly done any more that you mostly use taps.
Here is my latest project, because traming the mill is such pain with the tool they gave us in class. All you have to do is set both dial the same on the same spot and ajust till they read the same. Time saver. Total cost for the gauges $20 and time and materal which the school provided. Now I have to get caught up on the asigned projects.
For our final project of mod 1 we got a slightly more involved set of plans for a set of parallels that we will be able to use in the feild. A parallel fits into a vice to raise your work and keep it level. We used the mill in class and they took severel steps. I really enjoyed making them.
I was board im my machinist class and had an extra pice of aluminium so I made a shift knob. Now I just need a car to put it on. :(
