Ammco 7 inch shaper AND a B.C. Ames benchtop table mill

[Richard White (richardsrelics)]

Bought both at the same auction and they both work...
Shaper has tag stating approved by the war production board, mill is even older, both run on 110 and everything moves as it should.

Would like more info on the Ames if possible...pictures and videos to follow here soon once I get them off my phone

nice work Richard!
can't wait to see them both!!!

If you are drooling at the acquisition, you will, well I am not sure how you will react when I admit what I got them for...

 

[Ulma Doctor]

i always like to hear a regular guy getting something at the right price!

 

[Richard White (richardsrelics)]

I don't know about the regular guy, but the B.C. Ames Mill cost me one Ulysses S. Grant.. I about fell over when I plugged it in afterwards and it ran, and no I did not even think about trying it out..bought both machines at the same auction

 

[Ulma Doctor]

well that's a lot better than a good price, bordering on theft
seriously, you got a great deal!
i'm very happy for you.

Enjoy your Ames. I find pleasure running my Ames turret lathe. It only has stops, but was well designed for what it does.

Here ya go
