welcome to the forum.
That mill looks nice. I have never heard of or seen one before.

The paint on that cover looks suspiciously new. Are you doing a restoration?

Thanks for the welcome
@woodchucker: the mill is a George Alexander tool maker, a british clone of the german DECKEL FP1 . it was made under liscence in uk for a time. I recently acquired a Deckel FP1 that I am in the process of restoring. Just realized that the GA is made as well if not better than the original. really surprised me. But then quality had a different meaning when UK was Great Britain!

@durableoreo: what you see in the background is the side cover from a Colchester chipmaster lathe that I restored.
