Birmingham Mills?

Congratulations on the new tool. Looks like you got a really good deal with all the tooling.

Ya! I actually don't have a good idea on what to do with some of it! I'm probably going to have to find someone in the area to buy some of it.

I'll probably use the mills/vblocks, probably the dividing head, coax head, and hold-down kit , but a lot of that stuff ends up being duplicates for me. Though, those almost look like 1/4" parallels, which seem like they'd be very handy!

Anyone i the PacNW wants some inexpensive gear, keep an eye out, I'll have a lot of this available once I get through all of it!

Well, I am just North of you. Would very much appreciate a heads up once you decide what you don't need. I am gathering all my equipment and tooling for my soon to be retirement shop.
But at your leisure. You may want to wait until you get everything set up. You could find some items that it is good to have two or more of.

Well, quite a bit north of me :) Looks like about a 4 hr drive! Once I get everything home and picked through, I'll let you know. I know for a fact I won't need 2 more vises! Though perhaps 1 will go with my old mill.
 
1/2 way done! Just finished the pickup... Extra long trip back unfortunately thanks to Seattle traffic.

Very Nice! Looks like you had it tied down really good.

Well, the drive home ended up being an adventure. The plastic pallet I used (rated for 9k lbs on a flat surface :/) started to bend/break on the drive home. I ended up stopping frequently to tighten the ratchet straps to make sure it didn't move!ade it back fine, just an adventure! Now I gotta figure out how to unload it!

My original plan was a pallet jack, then wiggle it off the pallet into place. However, the pallet is now too crushed to make that work.

Looks like a good save there with that pallet. Gantry cranes are usually not to expensive to rent if you have the headroom in the shop. Or of course a fork lift. Good luck, looks like a great machine.
