First mill project

[AlanCasida]

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 but they had to spend a lot of time
doing it......And they had to make their files first.....

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.
