4655 forum posts 304 photos	Where I worked, there was a miller called Wally who ran a gigantic Wadkin mill with 25 hp and a BT50 spindle. His party piece was to throw teaspoon sized chips around the machine shop. People used to rig up sheets of hardboard to protect themselves from the fallout. He had a 300mm shellmill with about 50 inserts and ran it to its full capacity. The machine had a horizontal spindle and a bed of about 5 x 10 feet, and stood 18 feet high. Wadkin are better known for woodworking machinery. Check your Z height before fitting it Mt2 should cope admirably. Edited By old mart on 03/10/2020 17:11:52

This produced some very large and very hot swarf, the firing line was protected by sheet steel screens. The control cabinet for the Ward Leonard motor was a work of art, the backplane was slate and the cabinet was cast iron with a glass window set into it. Mike
