    FS - very old vertical mill, PNW

    I also have a Knight #1 Jig Borer which I use all the time. Love the thing, but I don' have any manuals or other info except how to take up the backlash in the bushings. Do you happen to have any additional information? I got the machine just after Rammings (Knight) went out of business.
