For 8 yrs now..Ive been lusting after a minty Abene miller thats been
sitting on a clients shop floor. Its been sort of a carrot and a stick
running joke between the owner and myself. He is downsizing by
bringing in new high speed machining centers..and needs to off load
some of the older machines to make space.

I celebrate your requited love of said miller.

running.. the increasing flow of lubrication....the selection of
levers and knobs, in and out..to and fro... increasingly stiffer and
stiffer and faster and faster merging of cutters and work
material....harder and faster and deeper and.....

Excuse me...I have to go change my shorts now.......
