[mark smith 20Participant @marksmith20]

Hi, Just thought id share some before and after photos of the mill i bought a few months back and which is just about finished (just a few niggly bits to do) . Most complicated restoration job ive done yet  and now i have to learn to use it ,a big step up for me from a Warco Mini mill.

Thanks

Lovely looking restoration job! I used to use one of those at work years ago. They are very nice machines.

Hi Mark,

Could you post a picture of how the horizontal linkage from the control lever attaches to the knob controlling table travel ? got myself a GA mill, partly disassembled, was trying to figure out how to fix it. Hope its not too much of a bother. Thanks

Wonderful machine of very high quality, one of the best you can have, with a huge amount of tooling, I am lucky to have one and very complete in exceptional condition, I also have an Aciera F3, you can ask me any questions you have about the Deckel, I leave you a video drilling a grease cover of a Hardinge HLV H, greetings.

Awesome job Mark.

That looks to be a very sophisticated machine. Has anyone got a brochure, or link, with all the various ways it can be used? Maybe there is just too many?

[Nigel Graham 2Participant @nigelgraham2]

Excellent!
