Progress being Made
We shipped out a group of spindle squares today based on what materials we had in stock. We still need more indicators, hardware, and raw materials. There are many half done or missing small pieces. All materials are on order to complete the rest of the run from the referrals from VintageMachine.org videos on youtube.
All machines are busy making what they can and even down to the little ones. Here is one of our 3d printers making the plastic inserts for the front of the square. They used to be painted but found this faster, more precise and looked better when finished.
Extrusion based low cost 3d printers are great for this kind of thing.

Chips are flying
Keith Rucker over at VintageMachinery.org posted another video today using our Spindle Square. He did a great job demonstrating how to get your mill all trammed in and alternative methods to doing it.
We had a few referrals as a result. Well more than a few … Production is stepping up to make sure they make it out in a timely manner. I thought I should share some video and photos so folks who have placed orders can see some progress on their Squares.
In the following video you can see the saw cut 416 Stainless Spindle rods having a fillet added to make sure it goes easily into your collet:
Here you can see a photo one of the bodies being milled out the CNC Bed Mill:
In Progress:
Right now we have all indicators, and materials on order. We expect those in by the end of the week. Ideally we catch up with the backlog in the next 2-3 weeks.

Vintagemachinery.org Video
Keith over at Vintagemachinery.org was kind enough to mention our spindle squares in his latest odds and ends video. We have a great deal of respect for the amazing content Keith puts out and inspiration he provides the machining community.
