G'day everyone,

I'll be starting a new project on the channel, and that is going to be a power feed for the milling machine. Before I can do that I will be making a custom gearbox that will be used to drive the power feed.

In this video I will be making use of the forge again to cast the housing. The gearbox housing design lends itself to being cast as it will use the least amount of material to make.

I hope you enjoy the video
