Hello,
New member here. I have the subject mill - bought off a neighbor a year or so ago and have tinkered making some rebar bottle openers but now interested in learning how to use it better. I have the Marvin vertical head - I didn't know this was an aftermarket (and desirable) option. I also just figured out I have auto feed as well. So a little more excited about figuring out how to better use and maintain it. It is in very good shape - but I need to ensure it's oiled properly and might need some belts. Anyway - to my question - I've noticed that the Marvin head will tilt on the vertical slightly as I'm using. I checked the shaft mounting bolts and both seem very tight. Any tips/suggestions? I really don't know what I'm doing, learning as I'm going here. The head will also make quite a racket - off and on - lately more on than off - I can't tell if it's the belts, pulley's or bearings to be honest. It comes and goes but is more there now. Much appreciated. Here is a picture of it - you can see what I mean by the head rotating slightly as/during use. Also - what is that "T" bar that just sits in the top of the head for?
