Charles it looks like I have the same import knee mill as the one you mentioned , I was told mine was sold by KBC Tools in the 90's maybe late 80's . Mine is still in 2 pieces from the 350 mile move .

That mill is still being made & sold by the usual suspects . Grizzly has 2 , well really one but it's sold with or without a DRO . Probably the main difference of these Grizzly ones is it looks like

I'm in the process of adding a DC ammeter to mine, inline with the feed to the Fwd/Rev switch. I bought a 3amp one based on Youtube videos and it looks like it will be a good match in testing, but a 4

I order the thermometer for my lathe The advantage is I see the temperature rising and let lathe run higher speed to cool the motor down . All the other ways only till you *you to hot ?.* The

The small mill drill I have I was able to eliminate the vibration and the torque of head. I I stall a torque arm and fill the columns with concrete. Nice mill now. Dave

Herd one way use a thermometer like this one.

I think they made that mill/drill with 3 different table lengths . I have one with a I believe 30" table unfortunately it's buried rite now at our other place so I can't get any dimensions for you .?

I owned a lot mills in my life. They all took a lot space. The bench I have today is only 9x5 stoke. Does everything I need today in retirement. Dave

Oops, missing words in my last post. One sentence should be: The primary compromise I suspect most people think about with the "mill-drill" machines is that they are giving up THE KNEE.? And

Technically, this type of mill is called a "bed mill" versus a "knee mill" (like the oft mentioned Bridgeports but also larger and smaller knee mills). If it is in good condition, and even if perhaps

Why not just use a DRO. A lot work for a dial. FYI I see a better dial for cross slide of a lathes only. Dave

Monday night I was looking at the latest Home Shop Machinist and saw a cover story about someone making new dials for his Jet mill-drill so theyd look more like Bridgeport dials. (This involved

That is very true. Just stand to one side and let the oil fly. I did see just after OSHA first started in 1970's to put guards all around a engine. It die quickly too. Dave

I learned this in college from an old time machinist. Foremen would walk among the machines putting their hands on the motors. If you could leave a hand on the motor then it wasn't working hard

I think it's rather obvious that there are many ways to deal with this issue and one just has to find what works for them. For me there are several things I use depending on what I'm doing. For sure

Most quality drill presses , table saws & even some bench grinders have those built into the motors . Look for the little red button .? Their real handy units to have a couple laying around . The

These things are a thermal switch. They open an electrical circuit if the temperature is above their set point. So you would bolt them firmly to any object that you do nopt want to be very hot.

They come in different shapes. This kind has a hole for an M3 size screw. I don’t know what temperature limit is best. Motors can run OK at 80C even if you think that is too hot. So about 1.5

I am more interested not having oil all over from the lathe chuck. I good set safety glasses witch can buy upto 3.00 from some machine shop supplier. On internet you can find low cost RX safety
