Looks to be a good mill with a decent motor.

Hi Chaps

Well I've bitten the bullet and ordered the mill, as I come from up North and don't like parting with money  :( ,

I needed an injection to get me over the turmoil  :dremel:

I'll start a thread on stripping it down and shoe horning it into my shop when it arrives.

Have
 :wave:
Fun

I have an SX3 and love it. I also have a 3and1 but changing setup  from lathe to mill and back was a pain :bang: So convienced SWMBO that the SX3 was a necessity. :D

I have a HF 1000LB hydraulic lift-table that I used when installing the SX3 in my shop. Since I prefer to set (conserves energy) :med: when milling my bench for the mill is only 30"s high. :coffee: The hydraulic lift allowed me to uncrate the mill outside my shop door, do some preliminary cleaning, then slide it onto the lift and roll it in to the bench. Jacked it up and slide it on to the bench. I live so far out in the country that I usually have to figure out how to do these things alone. Perhaps you or someone you know has one of these lifts. It would really help moving that thing around. :clap:
