Here's a video of mine (Sinpo) that came from tpactools tools. They are on eBay but if you buy it from there own site it's 20 bucks cheaper.

The video has pics in the beginning of how it was shipped / packaged then mounting it. At the end there's video of how it works and a review sort of.

Just so you know for the price I couldn't be happier.
 
Beautiful machine and DRO, what is the power feed unit? Like your handle on utube :))

Thanks Kickstart! I'm not sure who's name was on the power feed. It came with the mill and was missing a couple of stickers. Probably a dozen companies put there name on the Taiwan built PF. If you like my utube handle you better check out my other videos.

Here's a before and after pic of the mill

That is way too nice to get dirty.

My BP has an old 6f PF on it and everyone I have talked to about replacing it is talking 1K plus and I can't get a straight answer from any of the import dealers if what they carry will replace a 6f. :banghead:
 
Where did you get the way covers from? They look as though they will to do a great job.

Garry, I got them off eBay. McMaster Carr sells them but they are over 600 bucks new. They work great and don't restrict travel in anyway. Well worth the 150 I payed for them.
