Pete,
Is the mill as small as it looks? (Or is it a giant can of peas?)
What is the size of the arbor?
Phil.
Hi there, Phil,
Well, peas are one of my favourite vegetables:
'I eat my peas with honey,
I've done so all my life.
It makes them taste quite funny,
But it keeps them on the knife!'

We buy peas frozen and packed in a plastic bag nowadays. What looks like a pea tin is actually a joke waste paper basket.
The mill is a Flexispeed Mark I (see Tony's web-site,
http://www.lathes.co.uk/flexispeedmiller/ ) that I plan to renovate. The first step is to contrive a counter-shaft and motor mount.
The arbor is 1/2" and the headroom beneath the top bar only allows the use of 3¾" cutters. Since posting my other thread about this mill, I have acquired a few cutters and some dial hand-wheels. (My measurement of the lead-screw thread pitches was way out - I plan to repeat it to confirm that my machine is the same as the description on Tony's site.)
I posted my picture with my tongue in my cheek but that's in no way any disrespect for the other posts on this thread. John S's picture of his horizontal mill in full chat is most impressive and David A's little mill looks as capable of useful work as I hope mine will be.
Best regards,
Pete W.
