I realized how much I liked my mobile dimensions mill as I watched it going down the driveway to its new home.Found a pile of parts that was supposedly a complete model 128 for a price I could afford.Put all the pieces together temporarily to see if it was all there and see what needed work.It was all there but in rough shape.Just had to make a bit of sawdust before taking it apart and starting the over winter project

You have a nice shop. Keep us updated on the rebuild.

Wondering if anyone would comment on paint versus powder coating?I have used endura paint in the past but not on a mill and it is definitely the brand to use if looking for a tough as nails paint.I have never had anything powder coated before.The tin on this mill will need to be coated and I probably should protect the frame as well.Interested which would be better durability as well as cost difference  

Powder coating chips when in high wear locations. It's also pretty thick. I don't think I would use it in an abusive relationship...

Thanks for the input.Maybe thats why the Mrs came into the relationship with a real thick coat of endura :D
