OK - well Kondia have given me a list of parts and actually told me that they may be able to get parts made that are no longer in stock. I've asked if I can get the drawings... I don't have a reply yet
Now when I purchased the mill I assumed that it was metric, as it is Spanish made and this one ended up at a distributor in QLD. I've been given two options for the feed elevation nut and also the micrometer rod and nuts for the quill (inch and metric). I have made the following observations:
To confirm that the axis screws are inch or metric I would zero the dial, crank and measure the distance for a revolution of the dial. This isn't possible at the moment, as everything is in pieces! Measuring the pitch indicates 5tpi and the dials are 200 divisions on the x and y and 100 divisions on the z. Again, I'm guessing inch.
Does anyone agree/disagree have any suggestions?

- The scale was missing from the quill but the micrometer screw thread is 20tpi. There are 50 divisions on the nut.
- The feed rates for the power quill feed are in inches per minute.
- The feed rates for the x-feed gearbox are in inches per minute.
