if i have any doubts i could always fill the section with something to add weight.

Concrete?

No, definitely not bolted to the bench...

Yeah concrete or my secret stash of tools the missus didnt know i ordered?

Muzzer, maybe i am overthinking it but i thought getting sealant or paint under the mill may upset it? At least the holes appear solid. On my lathe one is solid but the other is a slot, I drained the oil recently and spilt more than last time and it found its way down the bolt hole and into the tub beneath. Oily mess.

Anyone want to buy some oily sandpaper?

Back to the square tube, its years old and has a rusty coating. Needs cleaning and probably a pass through the mill to level them. Do i just give them a light spray of oil or paint them? You may have guess i like to do things right even though it may make zero difference or make it worse

I like to be different also, has anyone converted the belt drive to a plastic gear drive? (just kidding)
