This is a concrete mill, where the head is attached to a top piece. Head can be rotated for horizontal or vertical milling.
Eric MacNeil Version
- 1/2"x12" pipe with welded flange
Improvements:
- Use square tube so it has a flat surface for mounting vertical slide

//Since solidworks is currently in a state of semi constant crashing I'm going to upload as much of the information that I have used in designing what I have designed bill of materials.
solidworks is working again I Will try to upload models of the spindle in the next couple days and designs for the slides as well. I have started making production drawings and writing steps for manufacturing each of the parts.
bearings for spindle
33012/Q 60mm by 95mm by 27mm tapered roller bearings 2X ~100$ each
spindle pipe
2 ½” XXHY pipe 18”? 2.375 nom O.D. ~30$
3 ½” sch 80 pipe 12”? ~30$

seals 70mm by 95mm by 12mm (seats on pulley or spacer)
seal seat for front of spindle
part sources
SKF for bearings and seals but equivalent avalible from most major bearing companies (price check through mcmaster.com or internet)
west marine for resin epoxy system (523.98 for 5.29 gallons, mixed with 85% aggregate yields 35.25 gallons of E/G concrete, 4.715 cubic feet
landscaping supply for aggregate (I bought river stone 3/8in size for $4 for a five gallon bucket or some such, $6-7 per cubic foot, and play sand can be bought for ~$6 per cubic foot)
steel prices based off of discount steel (http://discountsteel.com/)
