Paul you have really put together quite a machining center with all the goodies you added and made for it. I particularly like the indexing wheels you've added to both...the ops seem endless with that combo. Also the hand wheel Z axis is a Nice touch. How much throw does that have? Being able to attach a DTI to your knurled depth stop for setup is quite brilliant.

Thanks for sharing these great projects with us...my mind is reeling with ideas to mount a similar milling system to my meager mini now! It's funny because I recently did some poor man milling on my mini recently and was thrilled to be able to do it. Thanks Much! ~PJ
