Man I asked for a square and you made me a triangle

Is he? Bit harsh

A bit but he’s elderly so entitled to be

 

[pressbrake1]

Used Petes 24” crown windley and modified it to dovetail bevel then cast a ally pattern from it
Pictured is a cast iron casting directly off petes camelback. When I cast some more they will be off the fettled ally pattern so better finish

That's lovely

Used @Pete. metal to make the fixture tombstone Used my horizontal borer as too big for the devlieg

Great to see proper engineering like this !

How much travel has your devlieg got?

The size of the thing you'd say it's more than your borer!

All them extra tons add up to accuracy I guess!

Thing with the Devlieg is the table never leaves the footprint no overhangs.

Ah I see I see

No overhang on horizontal borer either

Doesn't seem all that big in-person.

How do you package something that big to ensure it does not get damaged in transit across the pond? Very securely, I presume. Please post some photos of it being packaged. Thanks.

How did it come out?

Starrett quality as usual from uncle
Wouldn’t dare use ec on something like this

 

[Maker]

Starrett quality

Is that good or bad? I've been quite unimpressed with some Starrett bits I've had recently.

 

[Brad93]

Starrett is crap now

Obviously I don’t mean chinesium starrett
