Initial Inspection.

 As found, the mill was not under power but had been represented as "working". It had been wired for 440 volts, 3-phase. It had only a little tooling. A vise, some collets, an incomplete set of hold-down clamps and a plexiglass shield. This appeared to work well. No vise handle was available, "We just use a wrench." Several missing pieces and, while dirty, not a lot of use on what was present. I removed the vise and was presented with a lot of rusty swarf in the T-slots. I scraped out a lot of the swarf and left it in their collection bin. I removed the handles and power feed and tilted the head in preparation for transport. Obviously not a lot of wear on the Y-axis.
