So, what ya gonna use it for Bill?

 

[Bill Gruby]

I wonder what machine it was destined for. It's a paper weight right now. :rofl:

That was one BIG MILL to take that cutter! :lmao:

I have several similar to that one which I also got in a misc. box at auction.

I had to make a 2" holder for one since I didn't have a 2" EM holder.

Used it on my Nichols to shape my Gorton 9J leadscrew nut block.

It'd be interesting to see one of these cutting to full capacity on a monstrous Cincinnati or somesuch.

Could use it on a horizontal milling machine it one has a holder for it.

Bill - I think you're gonna have to make an adapter to get that in you Clausing mill. :roflmao:

 

[cjtoombs]

You could always chuck it up in the lathe and bolt your work down to the cross slide
