Fixed Arc Milling Test

As I was getting my larger W12 watchmaker's lathe set up for milling I did this camera test. I thought I should upload it as some folks have told me that they're working on their own milling setups and I think that seeing the pulley system on this lathe in action could be useful to them.

I was using 12mm solid aluminum rod for the pulley arms. I've since changed that to 12mm steel tube for better rigidity.

The links to the pulleys, cross blocks, belts and the milling attachment are on my project page about the milling attachment:
