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.

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.

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

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 :)
