Re: pic: Hmm. What could this be?

Have you put the mill onto a table yet? I don't know if you got a stand with it, but it's better to lift it from the rear, then bolt it to the stand, then rotate the entire assembly and lift it with the engine crane from the front and put it in place. It will save some of the inevitable paintscuffing. I did this just last weekend with a PM932 after we tried lifting from the front and didn't have great success.

And don't forget to take it apart, clean, and regrease/oil it. That step is crucial.
