Hi all,
I’ve just finished a short video on my Cowells vertical mill and thought I’d share it here, especially as I know a few of you have experience with these machines.
I’m toying with the idea of adding graduated or zeroing hand wheels to it, but I’m still undecided – part of me likes keeping it original, while the other part would love the extra functionality. Has anyone here done this mod (or decided not to) and found it worthwhile?
If you’re interested, here’s a video walkthrough of the mill:
Would really appreciate any thoughts, especially if you’ve tackled similar upgrades – or just any comments on the setup in general! I think a DRO might be a bit extreme for such a small mill but would be really useful!
Also curious if anyone has a suitable small rotary table they can recommend. I’d buy a Cowells if I had the funds but they are expensive for what they are!
Chris
