go to "02-cleaned"

Thanks to Gunner and others, I used kerosene and some scrubbing, and
on exposed, unpainted metal I used oven cleaner. The result is pretty
nice.

Sheeit boy..dat der be one purty mill. Like an an old lady what went
through a full overhaul.

I STRONGLY agree with the comments of others..Keep BOTH lathe and
mill. You will have both an investment and decent tools to work with.
Scoring another deal like this is so unlikely as to be not worth
mentioning.

As you learn to use both, you may sooner or later outgrow one or both.
You have Capital that can be used to buy a bigger lathe/mill and its
entirely possible that you can sell the mill for as much as you need
to pay for a bigger mill. Money in the bank so to speak.

And if you get bored, or loose interest, you will be able to sell them
off for a very tidy profit you can use for a future hobby, or a trip
to Elbonia or what have you.

Given the marvelous shape of the miller...you now have a decent tool
with which to learn machining. Learning without fighting worn out
junky ****.

Shrug..my opinion, worth what you paid for it.

Nice clean up job btw. You did good. Again G
