Hi Dave, I bought it from Axminster Tools, the service is second to none, next day delivery.

The mill is working fine, I think I need to slacken off the gibs slightly on the x axis.

I did strip and rebuild just to make sure that there wasn't any casting sand on the ways, virtually none found.

I've downloaded the Grizzly manual as suggested by John, very much better, the one supplied was not very comprehensive but quite funny lol.

When looking for a mill I found many similar machines but they did not have the sx2 brushless and belt driven motor.

Wow, what a great response in such a short time, very impressed.

I went into shed to check for a button but not found, but I realized on checking that I had not been engaging the dog teeth properly so thanks for that.

John I will take you're advice and download the grizzly manual, the one that came with it was a bit useless although comical in parts due to the translation lol.

Thanks to all.

Hi all, my sieg sx2 mini mill arrived last week, but, the fine feed is not working,

is this common with Chinese machines?

Any information as to fixing this as opposed to sending it back would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Gerry

WOW, what fantastic workmanship, I don't suppose I could ever make things like that unless I have a brain transplant lol.
