Found this old mill in Ohio, about seven or eight years ago. It was in need of a complete overhaul, clean-up, new parts made for ones missing, etc. Over time, was lucky enough to find everything it needed and get the job finished. For me, it's a nice size for my small home shop. Purchase came with lots of extra tooling, parts, mystery parts, junk, etc. Still building the tool board to hold the tooling for this mill. Some of the tooling was made by previous owners, that is very clear. (Those little owner-made gems will always be special.) Also, it turned out there was also, in the box of bits and pieces that came with the machine, an unmachined iron casting for a perfectly sized little vice for this machine's table. I expect it is just a matter of time until that casting is machined and a nice little vice is added to this mill.
