Mill mods.

[big o]

Here are a few modifications made over the years. Single lever to lock/unlock mill head. Added arm to
crank,(eases lifting). Attached dial indicator, and 6" scale. Pinned rack to post (eliminates most of side
to side twist when raising or lowering head.) Rack was loosely fastened at top and bottom. Vacuum
helps clean-up.

Very clever mods.
Is the pinned rack permanent or can it be undone?

Rack is bolted to tube with countersunk flush-head cap screws.
