Grizzly G0463 Mill "Gage" “Gage” was the half-built CNC mill that used to be in the Northeast corner of CNC land. Due to similarity to Jaxen, and the fact that it was not operational (ever?), it was disposed and sold as scrap. The mill Jaxen is now in it's place! Many parts and equipment for Gage is compatible with Jaxen. Learn more about Jaxen here:
