Slow progress!

I have been busy building a new shop for the F3 mill and it has taken a lot longer than anticipated – together with the fact that the house is now on the market, its a busy time.

Anyway, I hope to purchase the DRO in the next few weeks and have that installed before Christmas…….

 

Oil Sight Glass repair

The picture shows the original sight glass for the horizontal head wiht the replaced plastic insert. The riginal insert was almost the same colour as the oil and so made for poor visibility. One plastic card and a selection of wad punches later and I had made a new insert. The sight glass now looks as good as new!!

Now I’m ready for the oil and to fire up the F3!!
