Shaper table extension
#2
This little side project looks like being binned for the time being- I don't know what material this piece of plate is but it is too hard to do anything with! I was a but suspicious when it came out of the mill looking like a mirror after cleaning up the surface with a carbide insert face mill. I cut the ends off with the oxy-acetylene and mounted it on the shaper table to clean up the cuts. Taking light cuts it felt like I was going to break the shaper. I decided to experiment with the offcut in the drill press and I can't drill the damn stuff! Should have tried that sooner. As it needs a multitude of drilled and tapped holes, it's not going to happen. Thought I had a good bargain with that great chunk of plate for $10 but it looks like being a permanent trip-hazard now.
