Hello Again. I finally found the time to rearrange my garage and make the necessary changes to move the mill to its final working spot. I will soon be building an enclosed room around it and my other tools to make a thermally conditioned shop in the garage; our winters are harsh and rust forms quickly on metal surfaces.
Being a garage, the concrete floor is significantly sloped to the garage door. From what I have , it seems the mill base is best set on a level concrete floor so all four corners are in full contact with the concrete. With this in mind, I was thinking of pouring a level concrete pad to set the mill on. Easy enough but when I need to rebuild the mill or move it, my engine lift will not be able to roll up and down from the pad with the mill hooked on. I also have four anti-vibration pads that I can level first and then place the four corners of the mill base on; is this a viable solution?
I am wondering what you all have done with your mill? What would you suggest? As always, your feedback is very much appreciated.
