College Engineering Supply Castings Alternatives?

[Howard LewisParticipant @howardlewis46836]

No doubt, there are many folk who have made various items from C E S castings who still have the drawings, and would be prepared to lend them for others to make the particular device in question.

Lending does not contravene copyright laws.

Copying is allowed for personal study (Hence copies often end up in the workshop covered in greasy fingerprints! )

When I bought my first milling machine, about 17 years ago, I followed Harold Hall's "Milling a complete course" and found it very instructive. The first project after making T-nuts was an angle plate, again using the CES castings. While buying chinese angle plates is quicker and cheaper that doesn't give a beginner the same experience.

I commend the OP for trying to take that route.
