    No, I've just looked at it and I can categorically tell you that it
    is a different mill. In fact, when I purchased mine (the same as Otto
    Frei's model), my decision was between a mill identical to the
    Harbour Freight mill and the one Otto Frei will be selling. I have a
    number of people on ebay who I buy tools from and these two mills
    were from different sellers, but the blue one had a better write up
    so I bought that. Compare the pictures - they're very similar but are
    actually different animals, obviously made by different manufacturers
    - the top mechanism is different and the actual cast iron frame is
    different too. 

    Please, does anyone else out there own this mill like Otto Frei's -
    I'm sure someone must have one? Or am I the only one in the world
    who has ever bought one? D'ya know, there are times on this list when
    I swear I will go insane as I bang my head against a brick wall.
    Tongue in cheek!
