Well Don, to be honest I haven't measured it yet. Partly cause I fear the result and partly cause it might mean me using the stand that came with it and that'll mean I lose all my newly structured milling machine bits drawers!

Should be ok???  :scratch:




Pic's size duly noted  :thumbup:

 :smart: ............. bite the bullet mate  :dremel: ......... what's the worst that can happen  :bugeye:

As for picture size I use 504x378  ........... 600x450 or 640x480 also work well, above that it can be a bit slow particularly for anyone on dial-up.

This is a dam good resizing program .......PixResizer

Anyway, ........ more info on the new mill required asap ........ can't see enough from the pics ...... the old one has given great service mate, can't see it looking for a new home for long  :headbang:

Well.... It's a fair bit larger than the old one, huge on the top in comparison

smaller mill

bigger mill

I know, naf pic's. I had my mind on other things.... you may glean some more info in a min? Got a bit of a post coming.....

There is a 13" spindle to bed gap, which is nice. A slightly deeper table, far more speeds to choose from, oh, and a 300 quid power feed on the end!!!!   :ddb:

Pix re-sizer I got is great.... all sorted now  :thumbup:  I just didn't have a clue my old pic's were causing so much trouble!?!


Right, next a post on the activities of the morning....

Ok, so here's a little about what I've been upto... I'll put some other stuff in the gallery in a mo'



I had to remove a bit of neglect first.... I'd layered it in penetrating oil the night before to aid in it's removal.



Used a scraper first, then a little 1200 emery, WD derivative and a nice flat stone to keep it all as true as possible..





Then spent a couple of hours removing the smaller mill and putting this one in it's place and repairing the power feed wiring (my heart damn near stopped when it didn't work!!)

These are the current "in" pic's I have... I might get a propper one some day, but it's hard to get far enough back to take it!!






Well that's about it for this post now.... unless you want to see this?


 :zap: Power at the twist of a few bits!!!  :ddb:   :D  :ddb:  :headbang:





Smiley happy Ralph.  :)

Ralph

Looks like you got yourself a nice mill there with some nice capabilities. You best invest in a scoop shovel now as you will be able to make the chips fly in fine style now.  :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:
