THATLAZYMACHINIST | ROUND COLUMN MILL MODIFICATIONS: SPINDLE READOUT, SPINDLE LOCK & COLUMN ALIGNMENT. MARC LECUYER @THATLAZYMACHINIST | Uploaded June 2017 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This video looks at modifications that will help the home shop machinist to work more accurately on a round column mill. Such as the addition of a caliper based (inexpensive) spindle (or vertical) readout, the modification of the spindle locking mechanism and the always difficult (not really) alignement of the round column. As for all Thatlazymachinist videos, this video is aimed at the novice machinist who wishes to develop proper basic work skills. "Little Quickie" video number 30. MARC LECUYER, thatlazymachinist.com
