that's an awesome looking shop. How about a few more pictures?

Steam clean it and spray it down with wd40, NO NO, I'm just kidding.

Thanks, I am fortunate to have it. I will post some photos when it isn't such a disaster area. It is a turned up mess at the moment. I have a 1340GT in the middle of an area waiting on the stand and have now loaded another machine into the mix. Hopefully I will get the stand soon and that will help clear some space.

Quick question, what size vice are you going to use on your mill ?

5" Glacern - have it in hand ready to go.

Good price and free shipping right now.

That's kind of what I figured, I have a 6" and the dam thing just looks too huge..... I'm not says it's not doable just doesn't look right though..... Thanks for your reply

The 5" is a good size for the 935 . I have a Homge HAV68 ...it works fine on the 935 but ergonomically i would rather have a 6x6 or a 5" . Plus it's a beast to take on and off .
Good call on the 5" .

My day's work on the mill today :

I rotated the head up and cleaned the cosmoline off the machine and tweaked a couple of things. Here is the obligatory "before" photo (table and column ways):

Here's the "after" photo:

Rotated the head back down for moving her after she was all shined up:

Here's the trimmed pallet being removing from the machine (recruited some help from my daughter):

Staged it to an open spot temporarily. She is waiting for the next move.

All in all a good day in terms of getting her cleaned up and staged. She is shiny, greased up and ready to plug in. She may even land in her final spot in a day or two.

slap a coat of way oil on the table to keep it from rusting.
