Vertical Milling
Machine
After more than a year trying to find a good used mill locally I gave
up. I did look at a few but they were either
completely wore out, way out of my price
range or just sold. N.E. Texas is not exactly the used
machinery capital.
With a limited budget and limited floor space I
narrowed my choices down to a big mill / drill or a
small knee mill.
I finally decided on the Grizzly G6760 vertical mill. It
has many features that I liked such as
radial spindle bearings,
one shot lubrication, power feed and a spindle brake. It
also weighs in at 1620 lbs. which is heavier
than than most
mills in this class. Like most imports I did have to do a
lot of cleaning
and adjusting but I am more than happy with
the purchase. The G6760 runs very quite and is vibration
free. I've have added the 4" riser block and a 4 axis
Meister DRO, really nice additions to the G6760!
I've included info & pictures below.
Thank you,

New Leveling adjusters / rollers ( makes
leveing and moving the mill a lot easier!!)
