Tim G: SeriesII mill findings...

Tim,

You're going to need:

- 1/2" socket ( recommend >= 1/2 inch drive) and a long 'breaker bar' for
the head rotation locking bolts.
- socket set
- hex wrenches large assorted


see wwww.Harborfreight.com

Toolholder and quill drive nut on rack/pinion :
- Huge adjustable wrench (Harborfreight.com $19.99) 25' 2.25" inch
capacity or more. for the collet nut
- 1.75" wrench for the holder body while removing the collet nut ( I found
one at a harborfreight store for $9.99)
note: I had to grind the wrench side-of jaws to make it norrower.
- spannerwrench set $14.99 part# 41243-OMBA (harborfreight) I had to grind
the "lip" of the spanner to fit in the
coller slot better.
