Just got my 36" Mill from HL Supply yesterday, and wanted to post some comments. I already have a similar one that I am selling to my neighbor for a great price (to him). Both mills are similar, but there are some differences worth noting.
1 - All of the adjusting nuts on the HL Supply product are the same size (except for the round bar), which is nice. The other product used 2 different size nuts.
2 - The tools that came with this Mill are much nicer (see the T handle Phillips head in pic 3) instead of just a cheap double open end wrench.
3 - The new mill does not have a Plexiglas barrier like the orig did, but I thought it was worthless any way, and came cracked.
4 - The adjustment clamps for the round bar pinch it (instead of a set screw going into it), a much better system.
5 - The handle seems like a better design, not being straight up.
Last, but not least, Lynis liked it!!!
Looking forward to milling some wood with it.
