I have just acquired this milling machine a portmac

it is really tiny the table is 9 Inches long height 9 Inches length 11 inches

its in very good cond going to put it on a nice wooden base

it is the original colour don't know whether to paint it or not

perhaps myford green would look nicer

just wondering if anyone else owns one

Best Wishes Martin

going to put some nicer handles on it and have found a 1/4 hp motor for it

according to the lathes website the portmac is very rare
