You are doing alright dude drilling speed looked a little high for cast iron ,could be the camera . Andy is right for drilling boring bushes it's called line boring guys..
you do like to frighten me don't you, A big drill. a small casting, only 2 clamps with small cockeyed t nuts. I was gritting my teeth, but hats off to you it turned out ok. well done👍
Quick tip for setting up, once the faceplate is set use a piece of 9/16” bar in the quill and in the bearing slots to vertically align the casting while you clamp it, then all you need to set is 1/4” from the bottom of the slots, cheating but it works
Keep up the good work Andy.
Thanks Kevin
Coming along well. I like the DRO graphics on that mill. Nice visualization of the process.
Thanks Stuart...if you are looking for a new DRO have a look at Preso's review of his it is quite slick too
Very nice work sir. I’m planning to start making engines soon. You set high standards
Bless you for saying that.. theres lots of help out there when you need it.

I could feel it was cutting well..new drill helps
After you bore the bearings use the faceplate setup to drill the bottom hole for the vacuum pump, it’s easy to forget it, guess how I know.
so did I ...its not a problem i love setting the angle plate up hahaha NOT

@@steamingandy simple and genius ....its not cheating
Cutting forces much less with the boring head. 3/4" is a little scary on that small mill.
it was but it worked out great..😁
