Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

Finally got a vid put out for the drill bit sharpener.

I will check that out asap…..

 

[Stevendavis]

Have an opportunity to pick up a Benchmaster mill. Anyone know anything about these?

 

[dhal22]

That is as nice of a bench mill as I’ve ever seen. It looks heavy and solid.

 

[TonyHallo]

Looks like it will cut horizontal and vertical? Go for it,

 

[Stevendavis]

Went and picked up the mill and came home with way too much stuff. I finally got the mill set up as a horizontal mill for now. I need to do some work to it before it's ready to use. The KO Lee tool and cutter grinder also needs work before I can use it. I also brought home some forging equipment and lots of other stuff. I found a nice little Buck 4" six jaw chuck as well.

Thats also a brand new 3 phase 1/2 HP motor. Anyone have a single phase 1/2 HP baldor or daton to trade? 1725 RPM

 

[dhal22]

Nice haul!!!

 

[TonyHallo]

That's a great haul. I would image you will need help to put the vertical attachment on the mill, looks very sturdy Was this an estate sale?.

 

[Stevendavis]

Yep, it was part of the estate sale. I had help getting everything hauled around as they are heavy parts. I got all the gibs adjusted and the table moves very smoothly. He also had two Myford Super 7 lathes that were over my price range. One was brand new.
