Comments:

I picked this machine up from a fellow in Sarnia for 100 dollars. A Burke #1 mill. It's been highly modified by a machinist to have full 3 axis control. (Normally these machines had lever feed.) No graduations on the handwheels but I am sure I can use a dial indicator for measurement.

The spindle and arbor have been redone with an MT2 taper. Need to rig up a drive system, and use it to mill some slots and such. Maybe get a micro-sized milling vise.

A fun little machine.
