Following along the same path as many others, I have sold my router an bought a mill. It is a Zenith knee mill, which is made in the USA funnily enough! The thing is old, probably around 50 years, but it has been owned by a model engineer for a looooong time, and is in reasonable condition due to this.
I have only just managed to put the thing back together since getting from the drive into the garage, and still have to hook up the motor (via 3 phase VFD for variable speed control) and tighten everything down.
I think the next priority will be to give it a good clean up, and a new lick of paint - that green is nasty!
