Hi all.
I have been searching for a new mill for some time with no luck but 2 weeks a go, one of my lucky days arrived. A guy, former machinist, put up his Aciera F3 for sale.
After some talk I decied to buy it, unseen

, only on pictures ( for allmost the same I could get an X2 here in Norway.
Comes w/ wertical ram/head, horr. ram and to arbors 22 and 25 mm, and slottinghead. collets:1 to 15.5 mm in .5 mm increments.
I had a 1000 km roundtrip to get it home but no regrets so far, it feels smooth and "tight". hopefully will have it under power tomorrow.
Only thing to it, there have been a crappy paintjob too it so will redo that in hopefully the original colour. Any suggestion on paint to use

Here is a couple of pics of it.


here with the slotting hed

and finaly with the vertcal head
