Had three pieces of 3”x2” En8 bar to machine down, 700mm long. . Hacked the guts out of it in the small Cnc mill to turn it into a channel, then put it on the old mill for a lick to get it flat again. Evidently haven’t lost my touch on a manual mill

Nice mill finish. What are they for?

Clamps are made by a German company, they push forward and down.
Parts are for the recoil slides for the guns on 3 Hetzer tanks I am involved with restoring . Currently working through making three of everything in Red in the photo

Very significant progress in foundry sand preparation.
Hope to ram up a cylinder head mould tomorrow, and if it draws correctly , maybe a pour on Sunday.....
We'll see.....
