Since it was a long weekend I thought I might as well start on the 0 mill, when I purchased it the plan was to strip it down and give it a really good clean before I start to use it. I don't think it has been used a great deal in its life and the vertical head I don't think has ever been used. Unfortunately though as most of these mills end up with grease in them because people just assume that is what goes in the nipples this was no different so it became a complete strip down, really did not want to go down the road of painting it as it is in good condition apart from a few chunks of paint that have come off around the place but I am really happy with how it is coming along so far.

Also I have made a little arbour for holding some 40mm od x .5mm slitting saws, needed it to come out far enough to be able to use on the dividing head so it is being driven by a 3c collet, I am hoping it works for me
