There are a few on vids on youtube showing home made ones. You would want some way of getting the depth of cut on the cutter just right. It would be disappointing to bore it out to the same clearances you started with!!The work would be there if I had one, that I wouldn't be worried about, the project itself would interest me more tbh.
Time is my enemy just as the workshop never seems to cool off any more now.
your right, but a modified dial gauge would solve that problem, indeed if it was that far youd have it near sorted.There are a few on vids on youtube showing home made ones.

That’ll have you stumped! It’s not my mill, belongs to a neighbour so I’ll have to ask him.Trying to wrack my poor brain as to what you are going to turn the tow ball into, on your milling machine
After some further machining I managed to make enough space by facing of the back plate so the spigot protruded further. I take some comfort from the fact it’s a tight fit in the frame. I was surprised when I saw how slack the bolts were when I removed them. Then I discovered the spigot into the side panel. The original is ordered and due on Tuesday. I was thinking I’d be wanting to be cutting before then but maybe not with this weather.stick a grease nipple in it for now, it might be grand but by all accounts youve weakened the housing quite a bit by turning the OD down and machining the holes to a smaller pcd, the only saving grace is its slid into the frame which if a tight fit would help a lot but unless the oem bearing housing was stupid money id order one up, if you have a spare that one there will never break...
