Evening Tiny! Yes! It will get stripped this week and the parts run through my hot tank. Then we'll repaint it and put it all back together. The condition of the mill is excellent, and will be a good addition to the shop!

Everything is in really great shape Dave! It has a 3hp varidrive 3 phase motor on it (dual voltage!) and was only used for cutting keyways for the last 40 years....

The virtical attachment looks like it was never used either!

You bet Rob! Now I can shave heads, intakes, etc, and bore heads out for hard seats, and a ton of other projects! I've already got a dozen projects for farms around here as soon as I can get it up and running. The first job I've got for it will pay for it and put several hundred clams in my pockets! I love it when a plan comes together! It also has power feed in all three axis!!!
