Nice, very nice Bill. Something to be proud of for sure.

I needed a radius cutting end mill with a .375 radius. It took a mere 15 minutes to cut this one from a broken .750 end mill. Not all that bad.

In the beginning this is what we had. 60% of this was scrapped or modified. These parts were given to me by a friend. He was going to throw them out. he did not know what they were from. Some research found they were part of a Tip lap honing machine..

Etching the lines on the work Head with the Mill was time consuming.

Impressive work (as usual) Bill.

Here the Spindle Tower was nearing completion. The tough part here was the alignment. Trying to get it all to balance for smooth transition made alignment during construction a real PITA.

Interesting, as that's the approach most sculptors use.

I have these prints for the Work head. No dimensions on them.

I do not now or ever claimed to know the electrical end of machinery. I hate that part. The reason why is a long story. I needed plenty of help with this part. It's as neat as I could get it. The power cord still needs to be added here. The box it all fits in was in house made.

Howdy Bill,
Thanks for posting this. I have two completely unrelated questions, perhaps both silly.
Could you grind arbor-type involute gear cutters?
Can you tell me how you achieved the paint/finish on the non-contact parts?
Thanks,
