I've been looking into getting a vertical mill for awhile. The machining I need to do is nothing to serious, clearance an aluminum cases for longer rods and milling pistons ( instead of a drill press, when I weight the pistons). Anyway, I been drooling over mills for awhile, but, my funds just wouldn't let me get one.
Until yesterday, I was going thru Ebay and found this one, it's an older ENCO Model #91002
it was a buy me now for $150.00 !!! It even came with a rotary table
Anyway, with the help of my sons, We got it down into the basement,( this was one heavy sob) where I then proceeded in cleaning and oiling the ways. What I thought was rust, was actually cosmoline, that was caked on.
Well after a couple of hours, here is my Enco in it's new home. It runs like a charm.
Now I just have to get some tooling and start asking you guys a ton of questions (after using the search option, naturally)
