Here we are doing some adaptive area clearance milling in preparing for the 3D machining op to follow. We are milling with a 3/8" 3fl carbide tool from YG tools on eBay. I really enjoy the value of these affordable carbide tools as they last forever in aluminum and offer excellent surface finish and MRR! I could have invested the feds and speeds some probably but was in no hurry and had to hold the camera so figured better safe than sorry!

This was a fun project to upgrade the tool post and compound of a little h harbor freight 7x10 mini lathe I snagged on Craig's list for $100. When purchased it was missing the change gear, reverse Chuck Jaws, tools and a few other minor components. However this was fine for my application because this little lathe is slated for a CNC conversion and some chassis upgrades to stiffen up the movements to cut small parts in stainless steel for business. Should be a great value for second operations that doesn't take up any more space than a tool box in the shop!

Follow along as the little projects come together to become a working machine! Hope you enjoyed this build!
