Let's See Your Mill
Nice shoes Dave - do you wear them in the shop or just on Saturday nights in downtown Johannesburg??

Ed - you may need to invest in a small ladder to reach the drawbar on a full size mill Big Grin

No problem Ed.  If you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask.

Finally got a couple guys and the forklift and was able to get this thing up on the bench. Now I need to get the manual out and figure out how to swing that head around.

If you get the operators manual out and read how to do that BEFORE attempting it yourself, I will have to call authorities and have your man card rescinded!

We are supposed to "have at it" and only after things are totally FUBAR do we read manuals.

Sorry, I was having one of those "Have At It" moments. Big Grin

It was simple, loosen the back 15/16" bolts and away she went!

Anytime you can step up to a more rigid, well built milling machine you should. The difference you find straightaway in everything from runout, cutting ability, spindle speeds, tool life to achievable surface finish makes the move worthwhile.
