Leaking way oil:
I know there will be oil everywhere. Been there, done that. But I want to minimize it, if I can. I'm concerned about the long bolts that go through the bottom of the machine, then through the chip tray and through the top of the cabinet base.
Looks like Permatex Type-1 RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanized) Silicone Gasket Maker might do the trick. J-B Weld 31314 is also RTV.
Ideally a very little silicone would be needed where the bolt penetrates the chip pan and the cabinet base. But how to apply it.
I am thinking, after fully mounting the mill for positioning, with the pan and the cabinet minimally glued together, raise the mill, then apply only a little silicone where the bolt penetrates the holes.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
