Excerpt from Mill Building Construction The weight of steel in the sides and roofs of mill buildings, with out cranes, is from 4 lbs. To 6 lbs. Per square foot of exposed sur face for the frame only. Corrugated iron sheathing weighs from 1 lb. To 2 lbs. Per square foot. These weights, with steel at 5_cts. Per lh., make the cost of steel buildings from 25 cts. To 40 cts. Per square foot of exposed surface. A rough approximate rule for calculating the extra weight of steel required in columns and girders when traveling cranes are used is as follows: Add 100 lbs. Of steel per lineal foot of building for every five tons of crane capacity. This would give for a 5-ton crane an addition of 100 lbs. Per lineal foot and for a 20-ton crane an addition of 400 lbs. Per lineal foot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Milling Machine is also known as book 4 from the best selling 7 book series, 'Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap'. Especially designed for the developing home shop. It’s a horizontal miller, but it has the full range of vertical mill capability when used with the angle plate on the work table. Extremely rigid and versatile. The work table is 2 3/8" x 12" with a 3/8" T-slot and it travels a full 12". Eight speeds from 43 rpm to 2430 rpm. The spindle raises as much as 6" above the work table and the transmission is designed to follow the vertical travel without straining the column or changing the belt tension. Accessories included in the project are angle plate, face plate, fly cutter, tail-stand and compound slide assembly with which you can do large swing lathe jobs. Still no need to look for outside help. It’s a miller and more, and you can build it your self.
