I know it's ugly, but I have restored worst. the rust on the underside of the table looks worse than it is flaking is still present Its covered in petrified oil. It's never been repainted, that's good in my book. I hate removing sloppy half-baked paint jobs.
Now going to my question.
The tracing servo has three valves, one is on the right side and two in the front. Does that mean that its the 3D servo? I know its not the automatic servo model. Serial number 44772
I plan to remove the table way covers and wiper felts to clean good before moving the table. then remove the table to clean. I moved it about 1/4 " to verify that it's not stuck. Its grungy with dried oil and possible coolant. the spindle takes the nmtb 40 taper. The table is nice without bloopers.
This mill has been parked at least 23 years. Its stiff but restorable. I ran it for about 30 seconds but without fresh servicing that's enough.
Also, curious if it's the model with ball screws? It's not home yet.
It has the hydraulic unit and its complete but no tooling. Has a vise
I'm anxious to get started. All comments and suggestions welcome.
More heavy iron crawls out of storage.
