I get a free mill!

Put that on using the quill thingy to align stuff.

I made some modifications to the back gear housing. I drilled and installed a grease zerk to the back side like you see on some other mills for greasing the back gears obviously. Then where the existing oiler was I put a groove in the base of the gear housing to channel oil from the oiler to the back gear bearings. Just a couple easy and quick mods but I am satisfied that everything will get lube now in the upper end.

I realized something after watching some videos. There was no quill skirt in this mill. From what I gather it is to keep junk off the top side of the quill. How crucial is this skirt? Should I get one and install it or just forget about it?

The skirt would usually be for catching coolant, if you don't need this it won't be missed
Ignor this, I misread the description.

The mill is even better than I though it would be it rates a gold you suck.

Okay okay, you all convinced me. I ordered the quill skirt and will install it.
