Comments:

I acquired this mill at the public Auction of Cole Pattern & Engineering in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is a big mill, weighing in at over 12,000 Lbs. It has a rotary table and power rise & fall on the column. It has a maximum throat capacity of 37", Longitudinal movement of 48", Transverse movement of 31" and 360 degrees movement on the rotary table. The column also swivels 300 degrees. For more info on the mill, see the article on the auction and removal: http://www.owwm.net/index.php?id=16
