![]() The power came from a trouble light they were using for light. Piss poor light as it make as much shadows as light. The light will be attached to the bottom of the quill with 1/4" x 1/16" magnets epoxied to the light. Keeping all the wires up and out of the way when using the mill will be a challenge.

One thing about rotating equipment is the total desire to destroy anything loose that can be grabbed including the operator.
Where did you get that ring light ?

I'm putting one of those 500watt flood workshop lights on the wall beside the mill to shine down on the table that way I can see and have a little heat too.

The princess one is good for a drill press, but not big enough for your mill. Depends on what you want it for. Better off with the 4" one that milo used for a mill.

House bound yesterday. Went out today and started a fire in the wood stove. Got the on/off switch and power supply installed. Got the wires all sorted out, tinned the ends and cut the shrink tube. Soldered up the wires and tested and all is good.
Next to mix some epoxy and decided to use 8 of the 1/4" x 1/16" magnets to attach to the bottom of the quill. Marked a dot with a sharpie and started dabbing the epoxy to the ring in 8 places. Grabbed a magnet and stuck it on. This is all being done on the mill table. Put the next one on, grabbed the next magnet and CRAP the two I put on were slowly sliding towards each other. Took one off and cleaned off the epoxy and skipped to the next spot, all is good. Put on another one and it starts sliding because it in the T slot and it is sliding towards the steel. Crap!!! Sometimes more is not better. ![]() Rotated the ring so every other one is above the steel. So got only four on. Now waiting for the epoxy to set. Not very warm in the shop as the wind is howling here and around 32F outside. Probably only 45F in the shop. Stoked up the stove and will go back in a half hour and see if the epoxy has set. Likely only 4 of the magnets are sufficient anyway. Pics after I get it all attached and wires secured.
