Mill Quill and thinking things through

[DJoksch]

This Engin mill was buried in my parents shop missing the motor and quill since the 70’s. It was bought at a sealed bid school auction and the quill and motor we’re missing when it was picked up. I built a quill to take an R8 collet, but missed the length by a full inch. I will correct this when I tear it down for paint. It actually works nicely.

I’m just getting to it. I am starting with the table and replacing the cross feed screws. It suffered much High School shop abuse. Luckily the table itself is tight.
