Posted by Esben Beck . Esben provided the following description: ================================================================= Dear metalheads! As my new shop is almost completed (yeah, right!), I thought you guys might have a look if you like. It's a small shop; about 10 m2 at the moment. 4 m2 is to be added under the basement stair in order to provide space for my universal milling machine. http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop1_bench.jpg shows, as the filename suggests, my workbench. Pay attention to my beloved Heuer Front swivelling vise. The casting on which the fixed jaw is...eh... fixed, acts as an adjustable clamp on the ram. If the vise gets sloppy, I can tighten it. On my bench, you can see the dismanteled spline shaft and the two flatbelt pulleys for the power feed mechanism on my milling machine. http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop2_southern_wall. jpg shows parts of my Atlas Copco LX115 compressor, my bandsaw of unknown origin, my Myford S7 (1960), and my Arboga E413 Bench drill. The Fobco in the corner is barely visible. http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop3_lathe.jpg shows my lathe and most of its accessories. All the wood stuff (except the clipboard) has been treated with Silkolene 10-40 motor cycle oil. It smells nice, and keeps the wood dust away from my lathe. Yes, the dial indicators are Swiss Compac Genevas, both 1/100 mm and 2/1000 mm :-) http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop4_drills.jpg shows my two bench drills. When I got the Arboga, I was planning to get rid of the Fobco. Luckily, as the Fobco has a higher maximum speed, a more sensible quill feed, longer quill travel, longer distance btw. table - spindle and a tilting table, I decided to keep it. The Arboga on the other hand, with its geared head and 4" coloumn, is a lot more rigid and can be connected to a coolant system. This makes it more suitable for heavy drilling. I love both machines, but I am still looking for a floor standing drill. Anyone in Norway in for a trade? http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop5_grinder.jpg http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop6_grinder_stuff. jpg shows my cylindrical/universal tool&cutter grinder and some of the accessories. This machine is in very good condition, no signs of wear or abuse, but a _good_ cleanup prior to operation is necessary. http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop7_mill.jpg This is my old B&S #0 wannabe universal milling machine of unknown origin, standing just outside my shop. This area will be a part of my shop, too. Boy, was that thing heavy to bring in via the basement window. The machine was stripped first, of course, but still... http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop8_mill_drive.jpg shows the combined motor mount/intermediate shaft/belt tensioner, the new Asea motor and the new Danfoss VLT for my mill. http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop9_overview.jpg shows how small my shop actually is. To take the bench-picture, I had to squeeze my head between the Arboga drill and the wall, and to get an overview of the lathe, I had to climb the bench. http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/esbens_shop9b_dividing.jpg shows my semi-homemade dividing head. It used to be a lathe indexer with an expanding mandrel for the headstock spindle hole, but I made a new Myford style spindle and a mounting bracket for the crosslide. Even though I have a dividing head for my mill, I believe this setup will still be used for delicate milling. I could tell you what part I have just completed in the photo, but then I would have to kill you. Happy new year everyone. Get well soon, Teenut. Regards, Esben
