Great idea Scott, nice job.
I never see this video.👍

Very handy ! I appreciate your video's !

Nice setup. Lucky for me my Kwik Ways fixture is big enough it can hold blocks and rotate them enough to manipulate them. I do valve seat/guide work on the Ford V8 flatheads and it is long enough that some Inline 6 engines fit it also. I have done many Continental f226/227 flatheds and 230 Chryslers with mine. I feel so proud when other engine shops bring over their Ford flatheads for me to cut for them because they sold their old float table machines after they bought their new Serdi's.

haha yes! good luck getting a block in a sunnen VGS-20!!! I also love these old drill press machines for assembly benches

Thanks for the video. I think I am going to make one for my PH6000. It is a very nice setup.

Hello, my name is Pablo Brum, I am in Uruguay. Could you explain to me how the air mattress of the Peteson machine works? I have a milling machine and I want to make an air mattress. Thank you very much.

Hey that's a great idea! I just happen to have an extra Cradle for my PH2000. How much did you mill off the uprights?

[@Marksracingengines]

I see now , you just trued them up. That's cool! So it would be real easy to switch it back if you only had one cradle.

[@scotts439]

Just enough to get them even and flat to each other.

Very Nice!
