Powerfeed is the dream for mini mill owners. The less power, the more power feed is needed for sweet finishes. The mini lathes help to get a great finish with longitudinal feed(crossfeed is in heaven), the mill would be the same👍👌🇦🇺(🤞 for a 1K Christmas 😊)
Hi Nobby, I keep looking, but they are either too big or too small for what I want it to do. I get by milling on the lathe and it works quite well for most things. Also space to put one is the issue. I don't really want to get rid of my old Taiwanese 12 speed pillar drill, but that's about the only place a mill could go. No rush. Cheers Rob@@nobbysworkshop
Hi Brian this is surely the best way to do it, but at the time I had some constraints on costs. As my mill is so small the little geared motor worked out fine. Thanks for looking. Cheers Nobby
That little power feed has made life so much easier Ad. Also fun to build. Thanks for looking Cheers Nobby
Gday Nobby, good simple setup mate, great job, cheers
Thanks Matty a much appreciated comment. Thank you for watching. All the best mate. Cheers Nobby

Thanks Rob. Any sign of you getting a mill some day? Cheers Nobby

Well done Nobby, simple and effective solution. Something that's on my ever growing to do list for my mill. Cheers, Jon
Nice intro - through the keyhole
Exactly, the lights were on, but no-one at home. Cheers Nobby
Nice work
Thanks Rusty much appreciated Cheers Nobby
Hi Nobby. Title says Cross feed, but it is table X feed😊 Regards from Australia
My IT department has corrected the title, and sent me to the corner with the Dunce's Hat. Cheers Nobby
Thank you Jon. Your comment is welcome and much appreciated. Cheers Nobby
Hi Nobby. I used a stepper motor and stepper controller and a 24 volt psu my motor is Fited in Place off the Handel. Form Brian
