Here we go again!!!!
i came across an Industro-Lite M500 Horizontal/vertical Milling machine too good to pass up!!!
a couple of pics for the interested....
it's a 600 lb, cast iron, 120 volt milling machine , it has a 6" x 24" 3 slotted(3/8" wide slots) and drilled and tapped holes across the deck
for hold down points. a really nice feature for bolting directly to the table deck, MT3 Taper Horizontal and Vertical taper.
there is power feed for the unit but something is broken and it doesn't function. i'll get into that project on another thread...
it came with a pile of MT3 taper tooling, arbors , slab mills, shell mills, overarm auxiliary supports, a 8" fly cutter , and other stuff i 'm sure i didn't mention...
it runs like a top, it has 8 speeds plus back gear reduction, a really solidly built machine!
the table glides like glass, the knee is easy to move and also rigid.
i don't approve of the power feed input drive being a #35 chain, into the norton style gear driven QCGB, but it was a way of transmitting power cheaply...
all in all i'd give it very high ratings, it appears to be tough as well as highly accurate in manufacture, simple in design.
i'll post more pics after i mess around with it some more!
as always,
thanks for reading,
i would welcome any information regarding the M500 or any other models of the Industro Lite mills.
any comments are also most welcome.
