HOMEMADE Milling machine | PART 4 (testing)

Turning Your Grinder into a Milling Machine Assistant:
This technique involves utilizing a standard angle grinder mounted directly onto a milling machine's tool holder. This essentially transforms the grinder into a powerful, yet maneuverable grinding head controlled by the precise movements of the milling machine's X and Y axes.
Benefits:
Precision Flattening: By controlling the grinder's movement with the mill's axes, you can achieve a much flatter surface compared to freehand grinding.
Material Removal: This setup is ideal for removing uneven material or preparing a surface for a precise final finish.
Versatility: The combination allows you to leverage the power of the grinder with the controlled movement of the milling machine.
Things to Consider:
Safety First: Grinding generates sparks, so ensure proper eye protection and fire-resistant clothing.
Secure Mounting: The grinder needs to be securely fastened and balanced in the tool holder to avoid vibrations and accidents.
Gradual Grinding: Use a slow and steady feed rate to prevent gouging the metal surface.
Overall, this setup offers a unique way to expand your milling machine's capabilities for specific grinding tasks.
