Hi,

on wednesday i got my new mill - a very old Maho MH400E

a lot of difficulties have to be rounded - but now its at home and at place:

(click on image for larger view)


the photo is taken on the lorry just before unloading (without any crane - only manual and elevating truck platform)
weight of the mill: 1.6 tons
here is a photo where i pull it with a manual lifter into my home shop ...


next there is a lot of work:
the original steering was dismounted (Philips CNC432) and sold (in this way the mill was financed)
next is a new drive in progress by a friend - driven by Mach3.
All motors (axis and spindle) will be maintained ...

but it will take 2 or 3 month ...
