| RotarySMP:
Very nice restore. What is next? The mill it sits on? Mark |
| Arbalist:
Nice work and good paint job! |
| millwright:
A nice job Andrew it looks as good as new. John |
| Mark Rand:
Sorry for the late question, but did you check and scrape the base, if necessary, before scraping the ways? |
| Andrew Wildman:
Mark, the old mill needs a bit of a makeover. Possibly a job for the future. I did rebuild the vertical downfeed mechanism on the quill when o got it. Three of the gears had lost their teeth and one of the shafts was bent! Works well now though. Mark Rand, I only stoned the base as it was fairly flat. I did not want to take any material off the base as it would have messed up the fixed jaw alignment to it. The top of the vice had worn or been peened to death by people hammering parts down so it needed resurfacing. |
