Recently I was very fortunate to have been gifted a Mill Drill. It's an oldie but a goodie. Well, the Mill needs a lot of cleaning up, a new single phase motor, cutters, vice etc. but I also needed a stand to put it on. So this video I fabricate the Mill Stand. The materials I used were;
Legs - 40 x 40 x 5 mm Mild Steel Angle
The Gussets are made from 3mm Flat Bar.
The Top is cut from a 3mm Sheet.
I primed the cleaned steel with an Etch Primer and the top coated using a time expired aircraft paint (Two Pack Polyurethane - Metallic Gloss).
I considered permanently attaching caster wheels on this project, and then thought that they would detract from the vintage/ classic look I was after. So I will make a trolley jack for it later I suppose.
I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

Scott
