I told you guys I bought this several months ago and guys stepped up and recommended which VFD to buy and gave me some tips on running it. Well I wired it up and my buddy came over to check it out and shorten my learning curve. With the tooling I got with it man it was slow going. Set up make a 45 degree cut, set up again and make a 60, set up again and make a 30. Then he showed me his 3-5 degree angle cutter set up he uses on his Bridgeport. Man it was nice so he offered to order it for me on his account at a nice discount. We tried it out today and I’m in love. It wasn’t cheap at around 1300.00-1400.00 with one extra cutter but boy it’s nice. We cut the seat at 32rpm and it cut super nice. I can see another order placed this week for more cutters. On my machine I needed a number 3 taper adapter to tie everything together. Thanks for the help guys.

Yeah, that's similar to the cutter Richie uses on his Rottler he cut my slant 6 heads with. Cuts all the angles at once and can cut them all to the exact height and or depth...whatever you wanna call it. Depth I suppose would be correct. Looks like you got a nice one.
 
You have way too much room in the shop. That means you have room for more tools. Like a boring mill. Surfacer. Crank balancer.

My son moved to Ohio late last year and should be moving his duster out this year. He just bought a very nice powerglide and I have a shortblock ready for him. I’m going to make a call this week to get pricing on getting a set of Crower roller lifter rebuilt. They I’ll have lots of room. Lol
 
Primus wrote a song called Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver a few years back, maybe that would be a good nickname for this piece of equipment!

Looks pretty sweet!!
