few words and pics about my shop and mill... and me

[Maryak]

Ariz,

Congratulations on what looks to be one very nice milling machine, hand scraped ways and all. :bow: :bow: :bow:

Best Regards
Bob

thank you Maryak, you're always glad with all :bow:

well, today I have finished to mount the mill and to trim it

I'm quite happy with it, all seems to be right
I have to have confidence with the tapered gibbs, can't regulate well like I did with the conventional gibbs of the X2 mini mill

and I have also to make a drawbar, because that one that came with the mill is greater than the thread of my ER32 chuck (M12 vs. M10)

I have only a piece of bronze of hexagonal shape, can I use it or it is too malleable for a drawbar?
