Hello Hawkeye, I have been on the UK. site but never thought about sending info on my mill. I first checked out the UK. site when I was looking for info on my lathe.
The mill did not have a drive belt when I got so I made one from a 2 inch wide binding strap. Have had it on the machine for better than a month now and have put probably 10 or 12 actual running hours on it with no sign of wear or problem.
The mill in the video is very similar though a bit smaller casting. Table and travels also look similar to mine. I have been looking at a few other mills a bit less antique and would like to get something that has a bigger table and travel though I will have to make do with this one for a while. It is certainly good enough to learn on and gain experience with.
