    I contacted Vevor for the instruction manual, worth a look before laying money down.

    Found at the Dump

    My local dump is called a transfer station and they guard their junk like it was gold. If you get caught taking anything you get banned. Nice find.

    I know Susquatch, I SUCK!

    I p/u one of these inexpensive angle eyes from Ali. I have a box full of plug in transformers from various electronic devises, found one that output 12v and wired it up, I like more light. Thanks @slow-poke...

    Power Z & X

    Gottcha, the feed drive uses the existing woodruff key to drive the shaft, I'll have to start lifting weights again.

    Power Z & X

    I guess I could pull the Z axis shaft, lathe down cranking portion to 5/8" and then put a sleeve in the cranking handle in case I want to use it again.

    Power Z & X

    Looks like they are trying to reuse the X axis feed to work for the Z axis as well, I would like to have a power feed on the Z axis too but the drive shaft on my mill is 11/16" and it's not a big mill at all. Hard to believe a Bridgeport mill has a 5/8ths Z shaft.
