So the mill looks to be 100% operational and in good shape. The Prototrak control works well and there is even a Z scale digital readout (although not power feed).
There is a nice and large Kurt vise included. The included tooling is limited to the collet set in the first photo and a cabinet full of worn and beaten endmills, parallels, in a nice but very weathered cabinet. The cabinet with tooling has been sitting outdoors under a tarp for 5 years here in Colorado and looks terrible, but it is included.
The biggest issue for me is the depth of this machine. The head is on a dovetail in order to be able to extend the head, however I have no need for that extension and it makes it very deep. Is it possible or practical for me to shorten this part in order to save depth?
