Proxxon MF70 Mill Work Light

Proxxon MF70 is a small bench mill - works fine, but you must provide external lighting to see the work piece as you mill it.

I made a plate to take 4mm strips of 12v LEDs, which mounts under the motor with double-sided tape.

Run the wires from the LEDs up to the power cord and zip-tie them to the power cord so that they don't get in the way as you move the head up and down.

You can see from the pictures the difference the lighting makes.
