I recently came into possession of this tiny old mill, and know very little about it, but its quality and accuracy are impressive!

'Came with a partial set of 10 mm collets, and I've been using it to slot 3/16" OD brass gear spline for a product I sell, with terrific results. There's no model or serial number on it that I can find, just "micromill" on the nameplate. Badly needs a new coat of paint as soon as I can get time to take her apart and spruce her up.

The old DC motor/controller and belt drive works OK, but is a temporary arrangement I cobbled together to get it up and running quickly; will turn the DC motor around and drive it properly using a block and 3 more pulleys when I get time. A very well made little mill, perfect for my purposes. 'Bought it from a machinist friend for a song, and I've never run into one like it before, and thought maybe someone here would like seeing it.

God bless you,
Dave
