I plan on buying. I’m very excited. The more I read about it the more it sounds like a great mill. It looks to be in decent shape. There is a seller on eBay selling a b&s#7 to ER32 collet. I think I am going to go that rout. I will be able to run up to 3/4 diameter shank tools in that. I am more then good with that.
I will keep you all posted and post pics as as I have them to post. Cheers
The er switch is the way to go i think i have a clausing 8520 and i went from a mt2 to a er20 i dont have a spot to hook up and make chips yet but im fine with working up to 1/2” tools. And i can always make a solid holder on the lathe
I got the mill home. Still on the trailer. That’s where it’s staying till I can make some room. It is filthy. Needs some minor repairs and it would be nice to reprint the table. All in all I’m happy. It’s going to be a fun project. In the end I will have a nice knee mill with some mass. I’ll post some down and dirty pics tomorrow.
