Had a project few weeks ago where i wanted to modify my bandsaw to be table mount, the saw i have doesn't fit the mounts that are out there so figured i would make my own,
well i got it done but it really kind of sucked, it worked but the holes were crooked and when i tapped them it was not the best fit,
So instead of just buying a real band saw for couple hundred dollars, i decided that mini mil would be the hot ticket, actually it is, ive never used a mil before, but you tube is your friend and its kind of fun, With the precision you can get i ended up changing the plan a couple times but it works and even thou it doesn't look any different when built i feel better about it. Even thou it took me the whole dam day to do something most people probably would have knocked out in 20 minutes, also turns out if you use the correct tap it works way better 10/24 and 12/24 are different taps it turns out
( guess i need to wear my glasses when trying to read those numbers)
Need to find something else to make, plus went down the rabbit whole on welding on you tube so that might be next,
