I made some decent progress on the PM Research arbor press model kit this afternoon. Here's how I was holding it to drill the hole for the pinion gear (putting the mini-pallet in the vise vertically). The hole is a bit more off-center than I expected, but it still works. I have the main body of it finished now! #machining #pmresearch

I'm taking on some PM Research models over the winter, starting with this tiny arbor press. These parts are WAY smaller than I was expecting. I'm still waiting on some tiny drill bits and taps to arrive, but it's going to be fun to work on! #machinist #machining #pmresearch #metalmill #metallathe #modelmaking
