Paint color is similar to Craft-X white, it's actually called Silver-Grey, limited color selection at PA, should sort of match the Craftex Lathe about 5' away.You've been busy, are you going with Craft-X white?
Did you have a look inside to see if it's one piece or is the tower bolted in place?
..... time well spent, well done!Half a day to build the terminator dolly, and load it.
10 minutes to get it in the shop.

For a residential garage, it's not bad, wide enough to fully open the doors with two cars parked and deep enough for a work bench, tall enough for a 4 post lift.Nice job so far. I'm jealous of all the gray stuff below the mill in your garage.

Jesus, do you put a feeler gauge between the roof and the ceiling?For a residential garage, it's not bad, wide enough to fully open the doors with two cars parked and deep enough for a work bench, tall enough for a 4 post lift.

Terry,Its a B048. I have the same mill. I bought mine in April 2009 for $3800. It came with a power feed on one axis and a coolant system. Busybee now sells the CX603 which looks like the same mill without the power feed or the coolant system.
Its a good machine I really like mine.

curve speed limit signs in BC are the fastest anybody ever made it around them and lived!!!.....you flatlanders never could figure those curves out.......![]()
My Craftex mill-drill is the same. That was the first single-point thread that I had to cut.Mine is 1/2"x12 threads per inch.
In the Unified Series the ½ inch size has 12 threads per inch, but the American Standard retains 13 threads per inch.
