The LeBlond Mill's previous life:
I just found out that mine came out of a tiny factory on the west bank of New Orleans decades ago. It was the factory milling machine to make parts.
It then came to Picayune in the back of a dump truck tied with rope to two old lathes. They didn't have any chain. This was many years ago. It served as the only milling machine in a start up machine shop. It's had many chances to wind up in a furnace.
Spindle Adjustment is on page 188 http://books.google.com/books?id=d0r...age&q=&f=false I've done some shimming as I had no adjustment left.
