Great buy, congrats, i have the same set, damned great boxes. AND Canadian made!! There is mention of these boxes and cabinets in the vintage tool box thread.

Agree , as long as it is cold temps, just cut the top off with a shovel etc, and drop it into a open garbage bag etc. Doesn't take much cool weather for them to go dormant.

Ok, i have that same mill, only the Canadian version , and i find it so far very good. I always see posts about only having two inches of drill travel. What are you drilling that you need MORE than two inches for? I have no problem with the two inches, don't forget the head goes up and down...

Agreed, 94GMC, those 618 lathes are in great demand from guys doing small engine builds etc. The Yahoo group has a large membership of owners of 618's.
