Title: First mill project
Post by: AlanCasida on March 30, 2018, 09:16:03 PM
Tonight I milled a 4 deg angle on the carb pad of my TF 351C Track Heat manifold that is going on my 452FE via one of Jay's intake adapters. The intake had a 0 deg carb pad but that makes the front of the carb high and even though I have a teardrop hood on my Mustang it still causes some clearance issues. Plus I think having the carb level is a good idea AND it looks better too. That power feed on X axis on the mill sure is nice.  :)

Well played, sir!  That shell cutter must have made short work of it.

It sure is fun to make chips  :)  Enjoy the new toy.

So when can we expect the billet intakes and oil filter adapters?  ;)

That's a super neat tool to have, Alan. YouTube can really be your friend on stuff like that. There are some pretty smart guys out there that can do wonders with just a mill. Before the computer age, that's pretty much all there was, mills and lathes, and they accomplished some pretty amazing things.

And before mills and lathes there was just files, a sledgehammer, anvil and a forge
and they made pretty amazing stuff with that :D but they had to spend a lot of time
doing it......And they had to make their files first.....
I feel somehow "happy"when I'm machining metal ...wounder what went wrong in my

I don’t think you need a shrink Heo. If you do then most of us here do also. Like minds.
Congrats on the mill Alan.
