Abstract
Methods comprise machining each of an annular planar surface and a linear planar surface of a workpiece using a combination flange facer and milling machine. Methods comprise using a machine frame of a flange facer and a rotating ring of the flange facer to mount a milling machine to a workpiece, and machining the workpiece using the milling machine when it is coupled to the rotating ring of the flange facer. Portable machining kits comprise a flange facer and a milling machine that is configured to be operatively mounted to the rotating ring of the flange facer. Portable machine tools comprise a machine frame, a rotating ring, a bridge coupled to the rotating ring, a facing tool head assembly configured to be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the bridge, and a milling tool head assembly configured to be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the bridge.
