Fixture and Workpiece Weight - I bought a 6" rotary table. Bulky. I asked Grizzly for a weight limit on fixtures / work pieces, and I dimly remember @ 100 pounds. Maybe with that much weight at the end of a fully traversed table the mill wants to "tip". Securely fastening the mill's base to a bench or stand -MIGHT- change this. Might also be that much weight off-center would put more force on the lead screws and gibbs? YMMV.

Bought a G0463 Small Mill in the mid-2000s. Took it apart, cleaned and lubed it, re-assembled it [no parts left over! ]. Eventually put some cheap-o Red Chinese scales on it, hooked them up to a TTC Model 811-301 Display, cobbled together a Z-axis scale using a quill clamp, an aluminum base, and milled a pocket for a magnet.

FWD/REV switch is also called a Forward/Off/Rev [F/O/R] switch.
Motor
ZYT-600 Brushed Permanent Magnet DC motor. 600w [0.8HP], 110v, 6.5A.
Looks to be a 90ZYT model, 90mm dia, motor length [sans square mounting plate] is 199mm. Haven't been able to pin the exact model down.
TTC Model 811-301 Display [no datasheet or guide]
Seems to be discontinued [surprise! ]. I don't even know the manufacturer. Who is "TTC" ?
This uses 3x RJ11 jacks, and the cables are securely held into the Display Unit. However, the scales use a plug that requires perfect seating, and moving the table flexes that plug.

This is the 5C mounting plate for 4" chucks used with the A1. This style is used with indexers, rotary tables and grinders.
