Default Got a new to me mill.

I dropped by one of my local tool haunts to see what was new and found a lost mill needing a new home.

It came with a few items such as, two key less drill chucks, an R8 Collet Set,
vice and swivel base.

Not bad for $800. bucks.

Nice!
I'm hoping for a benchtop Bridgeport, no luck so far.

I picked up a new motor for my mill, conned one of my coworkers/friend to help me with the wiring, our electrician at work, next weekend. He gets the beer & BBQ I offered after he is done and it works.

I still need a new switch (Barrel switch, I think).
The one that came with it works, but is worn out and I want a new one.

One last item will need to be made to finish it, I need to make a shaft extension to mount the drive pully to the new motor. Old motor has a long shaft, new motor has a short one.
