FINALLY bought a mill

[Leggman]

I have finally purchased a mill after wanting one since I learned to walk
It is an Excello early model in really good shape and I got it for practically nothing 400.oo
At the same time I purchased a clausing lathe I believe is a 12 x 24.
I had to pay a little more for the lathe but I still think I got a good deal.
Up until now I have been just getting by with a grizzly 9 x 19 lathe and outgrew it a long time ago.
Right now I am cleaning out my shop trying to make room for the new occupants.
The shop wiring is complete and I am going to try to run them with static phase converters as they are both three phase.

Congrats! I know the feeling, I have been cleaning and rearranging my shop for weeks to accommodate a new mill.

Congratulations! Wish I could find a deal like that here but that never happens. But at least I have a small miller I can borrow.

did you get the table with that miller?

 

[Leggman]

The table I do have but the lead screw and the handles are buried in a 18 wheeler trailer in the previous owners back yard under tons of yard sale stuff.
I am sure I will get it once yard sale season begins.

Looks like it should clean up good. Hopefully the gib is there too....
