Guys, thanks for the advice. I like the engine hoist idea. There's a place down the street that rents them. At my house, when we back my friend's truck up to...
When I moved my mill in (My 12x36 lathe too), I lowered in onto the horizontal legs of the engine hoist while moving it around. Keeps the weight low and more...
Mike, Just did this yesterday, and I had to take it to the back of the house through the grass!! Had a engine cherry picker and used 3 sheets or 1/2 plywood...
PS, I just slung the mill under the head. Make sure the locks are tight. ==================================== Thomas Powell (VMOA 741) 1994 NOS injected...
I have an 8x30 Grizzly Knee mill for sale. This is very similar to the woodworking mill they currently carry except it was designed for metalworking rather...

I'm looking to get $1,250 for the lathe or the mill. The lathe has the Grizzly pedestal/cabinet stand and, I believe, all of the accessories. It has two...
Michael, The mill balances well if lifted by slinging under the head. However, this can bend the belt guard. I solved this by sticking a 3' long 4x4 under...
Those of you that have the 220v 3ph 2 speed version, how do you switch motor speeds? Would you happen to have a picture of the controls? That is the machine...
Michael, Here is a trick I use to move heavy awkward items with an engine lift. After driving the turck out from under the mill lay a couple of 2/10 or 2x12's...
Thomas, Each importer puts their own switch box on the machine. I have the Penn Tools version. It's a rotary switch mounted to the left side of the head....
I see a lot of great deals on machine tools, only to discover that they are at the wrong end of the country. Has anyone found a decent LTL (Less than ...
Funny, I always think that all the great deals are on the west coast! I've found that you can generally ship 700-1,000lbs coast to coast for around $4-500. You...
Due to the number of inquiries I received, I'm just posting a link to the pictures here.. Sorry for the duplication. The pictures are at: Also, there are three...

I picked up a grease bucket and filled it with sand and attached a platform to hold it on top of the front leg beam ,it holds 300 pounds of dry sand, now I...
David, Thanks. I would really appreciate a couple of pictures from different angles. Just trying to see if the shop orders a 2 speed how hard it is going to...
... If you have a VFD, you just need a 3-phase motor. You don't need a 2-speed motor and you don't need a reversing switch as the VFD does that as well as...
Hi gang, I want to make my own V-Blocks and an Indexer for my 5C collets. Has anyone come across plans for doing either of these project? Thanks Bob...
Jerry, Thanks for the info. I have a couple of questions though. How much can I overspeed the rated rpm for pole setup safely, and what are the drawbacks of...
... If you have a 3-phase motor that is "inverter duty rated" you can run it up to 400 hz and some go even faster. I wouldn't run a mill/drill motor made in...
I have an old sewing machine motor that has variable speed and reverse with the controller. I was thinking this might be an easy conversion for the mill. Has...
I have reason to belive the dial reading on the fine feed Z-Axes is quite a way off. My Machine is a Jet JMD-18. Maybe some of the guys having DRO's could ...
