I hope you guys can help with this, because after a full day of searching I've come up with nothing. We have an aluminum extrusion shaped like an upper-case "E" and I need to mill off a few inches of the middle tab after the extrusion is cut to length. So we'll cut this E extrusion to 10' and then trim out ~2 inches of the middle tab from each end. The current (and dangerous) method is to use a circular saw to cut this tab. Its loud, time consuming an as mentioned before its somewhat dangerous and imprecise.
I was thinking of making a small dedicated station where this tab could be milled off. The part I'm having trouble with is finding a way to attach an end mill to an electric motor. Is there something out there that will attach to the output shaft and allow me to attach an arbor?
Just curious to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
Josh
