Machining a Straight Edge Casting on the B&S Horizontal Mill!

In this project I'll be machining an 18" cast iron straight edge using my Brown & Sharpe Horizontal Milling Machine.
As a "bonus" 😢 I will be dealing with 3 phase power issues along the way.
I'll be juggling 3 phase converter connections, and really second guessing my decision to not invest in rotary power in the first place... LOL
This will be my first ever experience using a horizontal mill, so there is a bit of a learning curve to overcome, and a bit of change in thinking that's necessary when it comes to setting up the work and the overall machining strategy.
But in the end, I learned a lot, I was able to experiment with work holding techniques that I've never used before, and was very pleased with how nice it was to work on the B&S mill.
I am now more motivated than ever to complete all of the work I want to do on that machine and make it my "go to" milling machine.
