When I was an apprentice the shop I was working in occasionally did some casting work. A senior machinist had to drill and tap some NPT holes at 45 degrees, his setup had the head kicked over and the mass of the casting slightly off center on the machine table, as he wheeled it to right in "x" to check clearances the machine tipped over and fell on its face. Wish I had a picture of that one! Thankfully nobody was hurt, it happened in the blink of an eye. While it was an extreme for the machine and by all rights outside of the capacity I've always thought it is good insurance and have been pro-anchor bolts from that point on!

Got the mill running a few weeks ago. I used a 5hp VFD to get 3-phase power. It is housed inside a Fat 50 cal ammo can on the back of the mill base. The original drum switch is wired into the inputs of the drive to control Fwd, Rev and stop. The head was a little noisy which turned out to be a worn key and bushings in the variable speed motor pulley. I epoxied new plastic bushings into the pulley and made a new bronze key. Now, the mill is much quieter.

Changed up the wiring on the mill. I added a line reactor before the VFD to hopefully eliminate faults caused by voltage spikes from the incoming power. There was a digital readout on the quill that didn’t work, so I put on a new one. I also tightened up the gibs and the lead screw backlash.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
