Mill jack

Made several of these for the guys I used to work with. Decided it was time to make myself one!

Love that. Are there wrench flats or spanner holes to open it?

No flats or holes. Always used it as a support system, not so much as a jack.
If adjustments were needed, we would support any weight, and adjust accordingly

OK that is pretty darn cool. That will have to be one for the project list. Thanks for sharing that.

Does it mount to to a T-nut underneath, or just a flat bottom?

It's just flat on the bottom

Loks fantastic! Is the "neutral" position the same height as the ways of the Kurt?

I'll have to check,

edit: it's about 1/4" taller. It was designed around the equipment I used to run. I might modify it.

Really nice work! I like the design. Id like a couple that were “exactly“ (close as i could make it) the same as the floor of my vise. The wide base which comfortably spans the “t” slot is a great feature. Me like.

If I do modify it, I think I'll make it shy of the actual mill height, just for the fine tuning.
