Nice looking mill. Matter of fact, it looks just about new. Congrats!

Thanks! It needs a little love but overall it's pretty nice. Got the original Enco vice and a good bit of tooling with it for $500 all in. I bought it from an older gentleman that bought it new in 1996. Been in his garage ever since.

Found this delta drill press for cheap locally. I've never seen a delta here in Sweden before, american imports are uncommom here. The quill return spring is missing so I'll have to figure something out. It also came with the cabinet, a nice grinding vise that's a bit rusty and one of those rpm controllers (forgetting what they're called).

We have the Delta drill presses here, they are workhorse machines, yours looks to be in good shape, just clean it up and keep it oiled.

Few more eBay pick-ups. Must have 6 or 8 of these sets of Allen wrenches. Think I've got a set at every machine now (~$12 each including shipping). Also picked up a GTN-2 and GTN-3 parting tool from Shars (~$75 delivered). Has a 5/8" boss for mounting to a QCTP tool holder. Also picked up a bag 'o chuck keys for $14 including shipping. My BP has three chucks at the ready but got them without individual keys. Had been using a HF 4-way chuck key but it chews up my hands some when trying to torque down hard. Ended up with the correct keys for each of the chucks.

For my lathe i just purchased a bunch of HSS blanks, quick change tool holders, files, MT3 dead center. I just wish there was a decent metal store closer than 5 hrs away from me.
