I had a Palmgren rotary table with XY linear slides, similar
to the one in recent pictures. The handles were different,
otherwise I'd say mine was identical. But, I found the XY
slides to be VERY floppy, it made machining very difficult.
It caused terrible chatter and poor finishes. I was n

First crack at the core using the instructions from Dave Gingery's building a
lathe from scrap series.

I suspect that a mini-mill would have issues with an 8-inch rotary table.

Known good part obscures the problem of shrinkage unless you want them
to take your known good and scale it for shrinkage which they will do at
$$/hr. ;-)
Working from their shrink % will allow you to do the sizing and that
make it simple for them.

While looking at your photos I realized that I could have almost the same

mounted on an x-y cross slide. but some of the castings look the same to me

He said it was a "small mill". Many would consider a Bridgeport to be
a small mill. I certainly consider my Harrison to be small, but it
weighs nearly a ton.

Depending on size, I’d consider some “durabar” or similar continuously cast
iron bar. I made a compound for my atlas lathe and several other items from it.
A bit hard on tools but the parts have come out great. I prefer to use a face

What you give a foundry is typically the part you want, a pattern. They
can advise on the limits of what they can do. For example there is a
minimum and maxim thickness and overall size.
They can also tell you how much the iron will shrink so you can adjust the
pattern
Then for you own good you

OK

The only "true" surfaces on the back are the dovetails.
