I don't know what it is supposed to be exactly, so I just went out to the garage, and checked. It appears to be exactly 7.5", with an old stretched belt under...
I've been using a taig mill for quite some time now, and I've always wondered, and never quite figured out what one part was for. It looks like a length of...

Trammed my mill today, and discovered it has developed an error in Y. Not as easily adjusted as errors in X! I think I recall the usual fix is a shim in the...
