I also found a slightly better way of removing the collet chuck from the mill head, namely by using the tailstock with a lump of wood on it to act as a rest for the milling attachment (of course, now I am hammering on the lathe ways, but you can’t have everything).
And I remembered a tip I should mention, namely marking 10mm marks on the tailstock sleeve, it makes it much easier to quickly judge the depth of drilling a blind hole.
I also attempted my first hack saw parting off, although I found it hard going and in the end simply hacksawed off the part - probably I should have just used the bandsaw. Still, it was a lot better than my previous real parting off attempts.
