Our school recently had a Gorton Mastermil 1-22 manual milling machine donated to us by the Timken company (
www.timken.com). I've attached a picture of it below.
Be relatively novice to milling we have begun watching videos on youtube about milling, etc. We are getting to the time of the year though where school supply orders need to be placed, and were hoping to hear some suggestions on tooling. What do we have to have, what should we have, what is a luxury. I know this depends on what we plan to do with it to a certain amount, but we aren't super sure even what can be done with it yet.
Also if there is anyone out there familiar with this type of mill we'd like to know what ever specifics about it's tool sizes you know (we don't have it on site yet).
Also how do we go about cleaning the grunge off of it?
