I acquired this machine through Ebay. I can't find an information on the Burke #2 anywhere. It has a huge 2hp motor, a NMTB 40 spindle, and a rack and pinion for the X axis. The seller told me he bought the machine from an old brass foundry, I had to clean out about 10 pounds of brass chips when I first received it. Most of the ways look great still has the oil scraping visible. The spindle has no run out and the X axis is within .0005
