Protecting knee mill table top

Post by Viperspit »

What are some of ways you protect the table of your knee mill? This short video shows how I have been doing it for decades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJSwRMEhH1o
This is one of the things my father taught me when I first started the trade and I have used it ever since. It is simple an cheap. Are there other ways you guys use? This old dog is always ready to learn new things.

Welcome to the Board here! I watched and within a few minutes it was great, then better. Totally recommended.
We don't do "Like" here, for good reasons but I am sure many liked the videos.

Hi Spro,

Thanks for for the kind comments. We plan on doing 1 or 2 videos a week. Right now we are uploading one on surface grinding thin plates flat using paper towels.
