Replacement parts for Sieg mini mill power feed

[crazybrit]

I purchased my Harbor Freight mill used. It came with this Sieg made power feed (mine is similar to this: http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_mill/Reviews/Power_feed/power_feed.htm)

1) Does anyone know if it's possible to get a replacement plastic enclosure? Mine is trashed. Else I'll guess I'll have to make one out of some acrylic.

2) I snapped the grey potentiometer (that controls the speed) clean off. Pulling one leg out of the circuit and measuring end points it appears to be a 3K, 6mm diameter by approx 20mm length knurled shaft. Can anyone confirm?

That Sieg power feed looks very like the one that LMS used to sell. You might want to give them a call to ask what the value of the pot was. As for the box, you can still get one from LMS for ~$19 ... https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=4309&category= The location of the controls is slightly different, but I think you can get things to fit.

Thanks for this. I did look at LMS website but only saw their new style units. I'll ask them on the potentiometer.
