New mill
« on: July 13, 2013, 04:13:50 PM »
Picked this up on Thursday afternoon and spent the last couple of days making space in the workshop for it and learning it's foibles;





The head tilts 90 degress to the left and right and has a pin to position the head vertical - found although the pin gets it close to vertical you need to tap the head a bit to get the tram spot on.  Otherwise it's an absolute dream to use compared to my SX2 so happy as a pig in muck  :cartwheel:

Very nice! Not surprised it's better than the SX2 as Wabeco are a bit more pricey shall we say :naughty: I'm sure you'll have lots of fun using it.

Did you paint the Garage the same colour to match the Mill?  :Lol:

Dinky machine vice, is it one of those ones made in New Zealand? Any more pics?

It's my poor photography that makes them look the same colour - walls are brilliant white (ish) - mill is off-white.

The vice is a Hemingway kit - build log here: http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,1688.0.html
