Are you tired of avoiding machine projects simply because you do not own or have access to a milling machine* Learn some of the secrets to successful milling techniques utilizing your existing lathe and drill press. ...wait! milling on a drill press* Jose has been doing it for years now and has been getting great results. Watch a Taig micro lathe mill a work piece that's mounted on the cross slide...then watch the Taig mill a work piece by using the vertical milling accessory. See a modified micro drill press used to convert the machine into a small 3-in-1 machining center. By the end of the tape you'll see the Taig lathe used as a milling machine operating on a block of steel which is being held in a home-shop-created vise!
NOTE: this video was previously released as 'Milling Without a Milling Machine'. If you've seen that video this is the same thing just with an update title from Jose.

This video provides complete instructions for building a milling machine.
Jose says: 'In this nearly 12 hour long video marathon, you will witness the seemingly impossible! Observe the author as he builds a fully operating and capable 80 pound variable speed milling machine with existing TAIG Micro lathe components and readily available stock aluminum material. A commercial heavy duty X & Y milling table is utilized to complete the project. This is definitively not a 'TOY' but a complete milling center that will outperform just about anything in its class. For a total expenditure of less than $300. You too could have a tool that will perform better than milling machines costing more than twice as much. This video will take you through every step from its initial conception and planning to and beyond its very successful conclusion in painstaking detail so that you too will be able to easily duplicate this achievement! As an extra bonus, you will be treated to a fully narrative and visual step by step presentation on the building of a 60:1 geared dividing head that with the addition of a simple shop made indexing accessory will allow it to divide anything into as many as 21,600 equal divisions and for that matter, any other number divisible into that. You will also learn how to easily cut perfectly fitting dovetailed sliding joints with the simplest of equipment. These two items alone would be worth the price of this video set. See how to produce a professional quality engraved dial with nothing more than a small lathe ( TAIG ). You will see each component being worked, fitted and assembled as the unit is magically transformed more and more into a 'REAL' milling machine. The final two hours or so will be devoted to a full battery of milling operations performed on real components that make up part of the geared dividing head including other milling goodies. During the filming of the final milling tests, cuts were routinely taken on 6061-T6 alloy to depths of over 90 thou with a common imported 1/4'' diameter four flute end mill. We do not recommend that you routinely cut to those depths but it sure is nice to be able to so when needed.
This a definite 'MUST' for anyone who has grown tired of using alternative milling methods but either is not ready to invest the big bucks for a commercially available bench top milling machine or simply not satisfied with what's presently available out there.
