Performed my first ever operation on my mill today!

[finsruskw]

Drilled out a broken bolt from an aluminum casting for the front of a 1650 IH Cub Cadet with Kohler engine.
Bolt was broken off about 3/8" down inside the boss in the picture.
Was a piece of cake once the setup was mada and the hole centered.
Probably would have ruined the part had I done it any other way
Sure beats screwing around w/a vise and a cordless drill!!
This machine is going to come in handy!
Just yesterday got the mill wired.

Always a great feeling when the plan comes together.
Besides - we gotta keep our cubs purrin' right?!?!

That's feeling the pay-off of having a well-equipped shop and the knowledge!
Nice job!

You have greatly expanded your knowledge and capibilities.

Thanks for the comments Fella's!
And the fun just keeps rolling along.
Working now on a deal for two 9A SB's
Plan is to make one best one of the two. Some parts missing.
They are crammed in a warehouse now and can hardly be gotten to yet.
May be a few months before I can lay hands on them.
Film at eleven, I hope!
