Mine is much smaller than what most of you have. Currently 2 axes are converted to CNC. However, I have just started a major overhaul of my tiny mill... Try not laugh too hard! Big Grin this little guy has done a lot of work.

        Brass Machine,
I think my mini mill is smaller than yours. I got this mill for free with a lot of extras along with a brand new Sherline CNC lathe with a lot of extras too, with the Sherline computer also. I want a big mill, but for now this will work. I do have to make some room in my shop for more tools that I need.

I would love to have either one of those machines actually. Those would be a perfect companion to my mini-late. Spindle speed is often more important than size. And I'll bet those babies can crank out some rpm - yes?

The CNC control is icing on the cake! Cool

Well I just picked this up last month - A 1969 or 1970 Kondia FV-1 Powermill (Kondia were unable to confirm the year).

I picked it up knowing the x-feed didn't work and also that the quill feed was missing some parts. I have sorted out the x-feed and I'm now in the process of figuring out what is missing from the quill feed. Table size is 42x9

Go big, or go home eh? Big Grin

Well that is great to be able to house such a machine Mayhem. Something that most of us can only dream about. Good for you.

We will require regular updates on your progress of course. Tongue

Thanks Highpower. I think the size and the fact it is 3 phase worked in my favour. Too big for a lot of hobbyists and too old for a working shop. I paid $900 for it and that included $450 worth of new tooling. No vise or cutting tools though. .

We are starved here in Perth for machines. I had been keeping an eye out for a few years and very little were available here and when they do come along they were BIG dollars. Other option would have been a new import and that would cost about 5K
