RE: [GrizHFMinimill] Newbie w/questions



Thank you!

That's the plan at present.

However there are other things on the auction I probably should be thinking about getting even I don't wind up w/the mill.

I have a lot to learn that's for sure.

Here's a link to the auction w/pic's. the 1st 7 are of the mill and what all goes with it.

Small town setup, only about a block from my house.

I've been down there several times checking things out as I learn more about stuff I may need.

        Do you realize that part # is for a 3phase machine ?  if ya don't have 3phase ya will need some kind of single to 3phase converter . lookin on Grizzlys parts pace there arn't alot of parts available . so condition is everything

        when ya cant get parts , if it were me unless it go's real cheap I'd keep lookin

Hello!

Newbie here from Iowa. Retired trucker

Thinking of bidding on a Grizzly G9748 that will be on an auction here on Sat 3/16

I know next to nothing about machining but wish to learn.

A clamping kit, drill chuck and a few collets come with it and that's about all.

Is this machine fit the description "mini mill" and am Iin the correct family here if I purchase this?

About what would something like this be worth?

I expect it will go $1200-1400 $ ??? Which in my case, I'd sooner buy new and will pass.

I restore old garden tractors.

What  minimal tooling will I need to cut slots and perhaps resurface aluminum heads for single cylinder Kohler engines. as I restore old garden tractors.

Any help you folks could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I have already ordered the book "Machining for Dummies"!! insert smiley face (here)

 

Thanks!!
