Welcome to the first chapter of our “How To” blog series on rebuilding the Lagun FTV-2 vertical mill. At Lagun Engineering, we take pride in the durability and longevity of our machines. However, even the sturdiest machines can fall victim to neglect and improper care over time. If you’ve recently acquired a used FTV-2 and are looking to restore it to its former glory, you’re in the right place. Follow along as we guide you through the proper steps to disassemble your mill the Lagun way. Remember, this is just the beginning; more insights will follow as we continue the rebuilding process ourselves. Stay tuned for a meticulous walkthrough, ensuring your mill operates with precision and efficiency, just like it was designed to.
