New to machining! Need info on a milling machine I purchased!

As a new machinist, your going to have your hands full just getting them home and set up. Good luck on getting those going. Are you up on your 3 phase power?

Oh my god! Tell me about it! It was a nightmare getting the lathe off the trailer. I completely underestimated the weight and size of this thing. I used a series of galvanized fence post to roll it off. Got it off cleanly with no damage, but man it was ruff! The mill is actually still at the place where I bought them, and I went and picked up some phase-o- matic converters.

Wow, that sounds like a huge bargain to me.

I sure hate seeing that lathe outside in the rain......some people have no respect for good tools!
(I know the mill was outside too, but your pictures are from a sunny day...so it seems slightly less tragic.)
