G'day everyone,

This is my unboxing and first look at my new milling machine that I recently purchased for the workshop. I have been keen to get a mill for the workshop for quite some time, and have been researching the capabilities of several models, but an end of financial deal on a sieg 2.7l popped up at the right time.

A milling machine will be a great asset to the workshop, and will give me much more freedom in the design of parts that I am now able to make.

It is also close to 4 years now since I last used a proper vertical mill, so saying that I am a little rust on my feeds and speeds is a little bit of an understatement. It feels great to have access to this mill and I know I will have a lot of fun in the future.

Cheers
