    RC (Radio Contro) information.

    I hope this is an OK place to post this. I am gathering the materials/plans/information to build a RC controled crane/dragline.

    Atlas MF Mill

    I just purchased at a local on-line auction a Atlas MF horizontal mill. Yes, I paid too much!!! But I wanted it!! It is missing the cutter arbor and the little worm gear that drives the table feed. The table feed driveshaft is there, but the worm gear is missing. I have a possible lead for...
