As for your crank wonderful implementation. The parts look to be finely crafted and do not look out of place on the mill.

As for boring operations there is nothing like a hands free feed method. On mini mills that often means an electric drive of some sort.
Thanks for the kind words.

Stay tuned for an upcoming post about a power downfeed for my mini mill.

(Seriously... I do have power feed on all of the other aspects of the mini mill, including the rotary table. Also all aspects of my mini lathe. Several future posts.)
