Machining and Installing the Leveling Feet for the Cincinnati Horizontal Mill

My last video, I made a riser base for the Cincinnati 2ML Horizontal Milling Machine. I had a lot of comments about how I needed pads under the jacking screws. The plan was to make the pads, but the current workload didn't allow me to take the time.
For almost 2 weeks, the Cincinnati 2ML ran nearly continuously squaring up stock. I completed that big order and took a few hours to make the parts and video. So here it is in all of its glory. Leveling pads of my own design. Tested on the Lion lathe for the last year and a half, they perform beautifully.

I don’t know why people get bent out of shape on product recommendations. Part of why I watch these videos is to find out which of these products work. There’s a difference between recommending a genuinely good product and just being a shill for whoever throws a freebie at you. Please don’t get sucked into the Vevor frenzy. 😁

I really like the trick of putting the centerdrill hole in before plunging with the endmill. That's a SUPER effective way to help the counterbore process! 👍👍

Band saw tip; Years ago I saw something I had to ask about on a band saw. The machine shop had added a small wire wheel to clean the blade. It was mounted at an angle, rotating on a small machine screw with the movement of the blade. The idea being to wipe the chips from between the teeth. He said that a cracked or broken tooth could go around and get lodged in the cut and wipe out the blade. He said it made blades last much longer. I like the your pads, they would spread out the weight.

Josh- The majority of people don’t understand the importance of proper machine height. I believe the majority of people adjust to their equipment rather than taking the time to make the machines work for you. Your mods were absolutely beautiful and much needed. I see a platform in the Johnson’s future as it looks like that machine was designed by dwarfs. 😂👍. Awesome show, Thanks!

Many of my machines have been elevated to a better working height. Loading heavy parts is nice when they are low but that is it.

Instant fan! Your episode on making an Internal Keyway Cutter brought me to you. My current project is to cut keyways in bronze gears on 5" naval gun sight adjusters for the Battleship Texas. The gears were manufactured in roughly 1910 and had the keys as an integral piece of the gear. Over about 114 years some of the keys sheared off so we're cutting keyways and installing key stock. My machines are so tiny compared to yours it's laughable but the problem solving is the same. Your information is as good as Joe Pie but your mannerism is just like me when I'm trying to figure out how to cut something. Making parts good again for something so historical as the only remaining Dreadnought battleship is intimidating bit a great way to spend my retirement years.
