I had made my Dore Westbury mill when I bought the shaper, an Elliott 10. . It has done some useful work as mgmbuk has described and I am fortunate enough to have the space available. Mine has the satisfying sound of a washing machine when it is running and just making a flat surface is almost mesmeric.

As that will be run at 450 rpm more power will be available. It also uses raked tips which should help. They will drive a fly cutter of this size. Part of my thoughts when I bought the machine were based on milling in a small lathe . 1/4hp motor, slotting 3/8 steel plate with a 3/8 cutter. It did it easily.
A great pity that both the Quorn and the Dore Westbury vice are no longer kitted, both are well worth making. I was eyeing up the Quorn as a long term project and the Dore vice as a do it now job.
