Re: Atlas Benchtop Horizontal Milling Machine
Thanks to the members who sent me photos of mills for sale. I ended up picking up a "decent" MFB. It was missing the knob for the door covering the power feed gears (universal gear drive or something like that), crank on the RH side of the table and no arbor or vice. It also included what the seller called a parts mill which is a base, housing, knee and table.
I'll post some photos in a few. Other issues included a missing yoke (MF16) for the power feed and a cracked power feed housing (MF1). I made an aluminum yoke which works well. Going to try JB Weld and some sheet metal on the cracked housing, wish me luck! On the plus side, if the JB Weld/sheet metal patch doesn't work, I'll get to spend more time in my shop making a new housing!
