Milling a Flat on an old Taiwan milling machine in 304 Stainless.

A little bit of mill work on the old King Rich mill. you can see a test piece I made earlier sitting on the vise on the left.
Material is 304 Stainless, 38.1mm Dia.
Endmill is 12mm solid carbide, was kinda trashed before I even picked it up, but it made it through the job.
I was making a crude 24X24 square drive dog for a pool cover roller, accurate finish is optional but I still came in with .05mm deviance across the flats. not bad for an old Taiwan mill, a chipped carbide endmill and somebody like me who never went to trade school, but was taught by a lot of skilled shop hands and machinists.
