new mill pics

Picked up my new mill from the truck terminal friday night. Yesterday was spent getting it on it's stand and rolling it thru the maze to the spot in the back of my shop. Today will be de-greasing and powering it up.
I've been loading up on tools for it, while it was back ordered, so I have plenty of stuff to break..

Can you inform us on the make/model and specs
(I know nothing about mills but want to)

Thanks

You will love the mill/drill. I bought a used Jet last summer. I use it for lots of projects. Be prepared to spend lots of $$ on tooling. Every time I think of it there is one more thing "I just can't live without"

Keep an eye out for some Rotabroach / Annular Cutter. Makes it a lot easier on your Mil to drill large holes.

I know what you mean.. I 'have to' order one of these, and I haven't even plugged in the machine yet!

I was looking at their jointers a few years ago, but my hobby jumper ways jumped hobbies again before the wallet bought it. Lopping some meat off my fingers with the table saw had something to do with that too. ouch.
