G'day everyone,

In this video I will be giving an update on my Chinese Sieg x2.7l mini milling machine. It is a big part of my workshop, and it usually is a big part of my projects, but I rarely talk about the mill itself, and talk about how it is.

I will also be doing a teardown and replacing anything that needs to be replaced. Think of it as a yearly maintenance that I'll do in early January when I have some free time. Ill replace the spindle bearings, scape the saddle and do a few quality-of-life improvements.

I will replace the spindle bearings with some Koyo tapered roller bearings and some angular contact bearings.

I will also hand scape the carriage saddle and the gibs flat using my surface plate and hand scraper.

I hope you enjoy the video.
