Mill Job - Bob's Photos

Reworking a Sherline model 2000 mill to facilitate horizontal operations on the end of AtlasO SW8/9/1200 metal body shells. Although these locomotives run fairly well, the detailing is rather poor and toy-like (the 3 rail heritage really shows on these 2-rail models.)

Bob > Horizontal mill conversion for Sherline model 2000 8-axis mill. The offset vertical column facilitates operations on the end of long objects. A plated steel rod raises the DRO out of the way of flying chips.

Bob > Milling the speaker opening on a Sherline mill and rotary table. I'm using a 1/8 inch 4-flute end mill for the job. After opening the hole, some trim work needs to be done with a small bit in a "Dremel" to flatten the inside and prevent the speaker from rocking side-to-side.
