Weiss VM32 Mill Conversion

[picclock]

Weiss VM32 Mill Conversion, 1.5kW brushless motor belt driven design. Large 840 x 210mm table with 525mm X movement and 220mm Y. Z travel is 370mm assisted with a gas strut.
This mill was purchased from Toolco under the VM32B name or is available from Amadeal. I spent a lot of time at shows and suppliers before settling on this machine, which I think is a very good candidate for conversion, as well as being an outstanding mill. By far the hardest part of this project was getting hold of the mill.
Disclaimer - I have no connection to any of the suppliers mentioned in this thread or anywhere else come to that.

Built the stand as shown in picture 1. silver rails are drawer runners for mill parts. Centre section houses drivers power supplies and electrical stuff. Kitchen worktop in picture behind forms worksurface.
The big day finally arrived and I was left with a large box on my drive (2).
Removing the box revealed the mill and accessories covered with a transparent bag (3)
Bag and bits removed revealed the mill. Inspection revealed no transit damage (4).
Connecting strops under mill to allow a safe and stable lift (5).
Test lift showed all Ok. (6)
Finally onto the stand with no dramas (7) :-).

Next installment soon.

Best regards
