Post by mite5255 »

Well i finely got my 2nd hand mill, it was $800.00 worth and came with a fly cutter :D, Its way bigger then I expected at 1100mm tall(43 inch) . Son in-law will be around tomorrow to give me a hand to unload it

every thing but the round column, and I think some people have even tried or succeded at that. What type of spindle you get in it, they made those mills both ways with a morse taper usually in a MT3 or with an R8 spindle.
