Comments:
I picked this machine up by accident. I went to a Craigslist sale for some tooling and was talking to the seller about my Benchmaster Milling Machine and he said "Like that one?" I turned around and saw this Linley Jig Bore. He said he might be willing to sell it and we decided on a price of $200, which included the collets, Palmgren vise, and a large, very heavy, steel welding table it was on.

I brought it home, but the paint was in very bad shape, so I ended up stripping and restoring it.

I would love to find an original belt cover and the power quill feed unit for it some day, but for now, I am very happy with it.
