Vaey nice Andrew. The finish is very smooth, did you fill any large dings? if so what did you use?

Thanks guys!Thumbsup

Bill, i did not find many large dings anywhere on the machine.
The main pillar was a bit of a rough casting but the paint smoothed it out quite nicely.
Everything was painted by hand with various sized brushes.
Took a long time but the results are pretty good!

In other things that i have repaired with dings i used Bondo and it worked really well. Just a lot of sanding...

Nice Job Andrew, and a nice mill.

I find it is a great feeling of accomplishment to finish a machine , stand back and see a great looking project finished.

All the time spent grinding, scrapeing, buffing etc is worth it.

Hi Andrew ,

If you could I'd like to get the measurements of your mills footprint
to see if I could fit one in a space I have . Mainly I need width of cabinet and
depth from back of motor to front of cabinet .

Thanks Bob
