Gearing up for the mil

As you know, I bought a mill.

Now I had to get it running.  I do have 220V 50 amp single phase in the shop....

Its just on the other end of the shop from where I put the mill.  There is an electrical project on "the list" but it will be extensive, and I am not going to tackle it now.

so I bought 150" of #8 /3 and made myself an extension cord.

Works Great!

I also purchased a few things so I could get going

Oil for the mill itself
Cutting oil for tapping and cutting aluminium
a set of R8 collets
set of parallels
a Chuck with a R8 collet
a set of clamps for the table

and now, I can use the mill  (I know, thats crazy!)
