It looks brand new Bill. The paint job turned out real nice.

Thank you both. It was not a real chore as the original paint just needed scuffing up to use as a base. I taped around the name plates and painted them solid black. When dry I sanded the black off the letters and left them natural metal.

At this point my electrician has not shown up yet so it's a waiting game. Hurry up and wait, seems like we have been here before.

great job, looks fantastic!

Outstanding job, Bill! So I'm now curious as to how you milled parts for the radial engines and other projects you'd done for the years before you got that Hardinge milling machine. Do you have something else or were you going over to your friend's shop with all the cool stuff?

Here is my Diamond Mill
Made in LA in the 50s
Its still being cleaned up right now.
She had to set for some time till I could bring her home

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I can see there is a lot of great information out there. I thought I would contribute my mill to this section. It is a Pratt & Whitney # 3C Bench Miller (circa 1940s) Lots of tooling but I'm learning you never have enough. I'm not having a lot of luck posting photos but I will keep trying. reclusej

Hi Reclusej, and to Metalworking Fun.
Nice sturdy mill you have, looks in great condition
