Here are a couple of pictures of my repainted mill. The middle picture shows off Bog's Tramming Tool. He did great work on these pages and I am grateful Note the tiny mini-mill in the last photo. It's still in use. -Dick |

Very nice and clean. You now have to get in covered in swarf and oil. I have a the same mill sold over here as a Chester Lux.There look to be a few differences table size and postition to head crank handle. Mine is a MT4 taper. What taper is your spindle? I see you have fitted bellow way covers, that is something I need to do. Mike (in the sunny UK) |

The spindle is an R8. My lathe has MT5. I cover the table with several small sheets of neoprene about 15x15cm to keep the swarf at bay. I also use a vertical rubber drape held in place with magnets (you can see one on the tiny mill in the last photo). I do a similar thing with my lathe to keep the ways and lead screw clean. I got carried away and painted the center section of the tramming tool after I built it. These are fantasy pictures really. This is my 3rd mill over the years and nothing stays this clean in my shop for long. It took quite a while to clean it to this point for painting / powder coating. Soon it will return to grime (as I have). :D -Dick |

I could really do with a tool like this, anyone know where I can buy one as making one is out of the question as I know my mill is on the wonk anyway :) |
