I made a set for the harbor freight mini mill I have years ago. That mill is fantastic for alot of small work, but not that great for micro size stuff. Wife bought me the Proxxon MF70 for Christmas and I've been playing around with it doing tiny micro precision work. It's been fantastic with...

These look nice will order some its fairly difficult to find quality in small end mills. I have a few very good sets of end mills for my full size mill but anything I've used on the micro mill have not been that great. I'm currently making a set of parallels for the micro mill, a valuable tool...

In my prayers hope for better days ahead

Amazing work

great start I also built this one there is a log here someplace on the forum will watch this one

absolutely beautiful work

Watching this one

very nice work so far

Just wanted to share some actual ship building I really love seeing how its done for real ships. These folks make it look easy with modern tools, but still it's a complicated process. Imagine how it would have been in the 1400s to do the same tasks. Just amazing

Great contrast Doc amazing work

my thoughts exactly I like difficult. why? well because its not easy lol seriously though for me doing difficult things broadens my knowledge, secures a higher level of confidence, and the personnel satisfaction is greater when we achieve something we didn't previously know we could. I'm the try...

you want the steel as a backer for punching with the center punch to help avoid distorting the brass into a crater around the indent. For the drilling of the hole I always use a soft wood block like pine as a backer. you will usually always get that burr on the exit side of the hole when...

You can back up the brass piece that's being punched with a piece of steel that will help as well as using a light load setting on the punch to keep a crater from forming. A thick chunk of brass will also work. I wouldn't use aluminum or wood though as these are both softer then the brass being...

The heavy shank drill bits Jim Posted will do very well for the flex issue. These heavy shank bits will also dissipate heat much better. If your looking into getting a spring loaded center punch make sure its adjustable in tension otherwise the pressure required to set the punch off will distort...

She's Looking Very good fantastic Work

very nice, this is yet another example of using items not intended for this purpose. Great thinking outside the box. Bravo

Jim Nailed this. there is the other problem with these tiny bits, they flex very easily. for this reason I drill by hand with these bits. if I have a lot of drilling to do I use my micro mill machine because it has a micro feed control knob in addition to the pull down handle. using micro feed...

I didn't even catch that its an easy fix so long as you didn't glue the knots yet
