Hi, welcome to the forum. Nice to see a new local member (assuming its Boston, Lincs). G.

@G I'm guessing

milling aluminum (ally as you guys call it )

suggests otherwise :)

@soopaman While buildind a small vertical square column mill is possible, weight (for damping) & rigidity are key. I doubt that 4" box tube (ally or steel?) will be rigid or dense enough and will resonate tho filling it with concrete might help. Most commercial small mills use cast iron, tho I have seen DIY designs using a steel i-beam.
