Thanks all for responding, one more question, please, I have to build some
kind of tabel for the mill, how high should the mill table be from the
ground or should it be level with say my chest? Any other advise on the
table?

I think it's a personal preference, but in order to not have to stoop
when operating the handwheels, you should lower the table as far
as it will go and then plan your table height so that the handwheels
will be at about hip level in that position. You may want to compromise
on the height so that you can easily reach the quill handle.
Perhaps start out with a somewhat lower table and then block the
mill-drill up as experience dictates.

You'll also want some way of leveling the table. 1" threaded rod
about 4" long slipped into a hole in some heavy angle stock, with
a nut and washer on either side (lower one for leveling and upper
one to secure it) makes a serviceable leveling foot.
