Doesn't everyone that has a mill, have a lathe? How would you fix the mill?
Joking aside, I'll loan any tools I make out to anyone that wants to tackle this job. I should also have a spare sight glass and some other parts. At the end of my repair, I'll offer what I have available. Ed kindly sent me an extra sight glass he bought.

Hey Henry, it always worries me when I repair something and there are parts left over at the end. Even more so when it still works afterwards!!!

Ed you have been busy, looks like your doing some nice work there and the mill will run better after it.

Dave,
I sure hope so. Importing a mill from China may not happen for me so I'll have to live with my current mill for awhile longer. Not that it's a bad mill, I'm just wishing for a larger, more rigid mill to upgrade to.
