Inherited a mill and lathe - Are they suitable for framebuilding?
Hello all,
Longtime lurker and eventual frame builder.
Almost done remodeling my barn. Hope to be setting up the shop to use the UBI framebuilding skillz I acquired in 2010 by this time next year. I have pretty much everything I need in terms of hand tools and small power tools and even have a BREW jig ready to roll. New wrinkle involves a Mill and Lathe I inherited from my recently deceased step-dad (suck it cancer) and I'm wondering if they have enough oompf for a guy who might make 3-4 frames a year at the outset. At minimum I'd like to miter chainstays and seatstays so the Mill is the main concern. Any related wisdom, tips, ideas, including jigs, is appreciated.
One is a Clausing/Johannsen "BX" Mill and the other is a South Bend heavy 10" lathe.
