I think the weight is mostly in the base, it is over 1" thick in places and pretty solid

Hi Sandyn, You should be able to move one with straps, also the whole thing comes apart fairly easily. I guess other column mills are probably the same. As for what I use it for, I am going to make a few bits for the Land Rover but mainly it's teaching myself machining and making stuff for the...

Yes, looks like they still make it:

Decent idea, will look into that and see if I could spray it in a matching blue

Thanks, I think wheels would definetly make it easier to move. Can confirm it is very top heavy.

Hi Inspector, The Grizzly one does look like a much more modern version of the Naerok, although mine does keep the alignment between head an column when moved up and down. It has a bevel gearbox on the column with a crank handle, and the whole column/head assembly moves up and down as one...

Hi Jameshow, If your Naerok drill is anything like this one, I'd imagine you could fit an xy vice to the circular bed, as then it could move up and down on the column. However I don't know if the bed on this one is anywhere near as level as the one on the mill as it wasn't designed for milling...

Thanks for your advice, hopefully once I've moved I can put up a nice insulated workshop as my current one is freezing in winter! I've got a Naerok RDM350M milling machine, fairly cheap and will take R8 tooling, it is big enough to do most jobs [20" x 6 1/4" table, 3/4 hp single phase motor]...

Hi, I'm a young 'un getting started into metalwork and machining. I have a small workshop in the garage into which I'm trying to fit a lathe and milling machine. Am moving soon to somewhere with a decent workshop space. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated.
