Purchased in 2023 for $300. Previous owner said he bought it in a deal with a lathe and never used it. He just wanted it gone from his excavation business. Was very dirty and grimy. Completely dis-assembled and restored. Horizontal mill w/Burke #4 universal vertical head attachment. Table is 24" x 5.75". Included are: 1" arbor, 7/8" arbor, 3/4" arbor, boring bar. Spindle is B&S 9. Switched from 3 phase to 1 HP single phase motor. Has 4" Palmgren milling vise. Vertical head uses 3C collets and can use 1/2" and 3/8" shank end mills. Originally had a coolant pump which was removed. Base pan was modified from 40" wide to 24" wide. This is a very nice and sturdy machine that is well engineered. Nice size for a home shop. I own 2 of them. Weight is around 1000 lbs. You don't see many of them but if you come across one, don't hesitate to buy it. You won't regret it.
