Deckel FP1 and accessories

[Alexander McGilton]

You stack gauge block on it. Then have an indecator on a toggle, progress from one end to another with a displacement exactly the length of the blocks.

Bunch of moving photos.
It is the MT4 version. That’s no problem as the previous owner adapted it to the Tormach TTS.
I also have a ton of collets if I ever want to use the weird Deckel MT4.
It also has the Deckadaptor which allows you to use R8.

Guys take notice, that outrigger is how you move things. It prevents the mill or lathe from going over. WELL DONE.
BTW... I don't care what you paid for it YOU SUCK...

100%. The guys who helped me move. ( or to be precise, the ones who did all the work) built the outrigger specifically for this move. They are real pros.
As far as what I paid, it was a just a token sum. The owner wanted the mill gone but to someone who would really use it.

Congratulations, what are your plans for using it? What types of projects will you be making?

Fantastic. Welcome to the Deckel club. What wonderful machines. It will take a few weeks of use to get used to it. Once you get used to operating it, it becomes quite natural. Lucky you have all the accessories, they are quite difficult to find here and pretty expensive to get sent over from Germany.

Hi, mostly parts for telescopes and optical shop testing.
Initially I suspect I will be making more shop parts. Right now I am making parts to attach a DRO to it.

Luckily my FP3 was factory equipped with Heidenhein setup. had to put new lip seals and a new reader on one scale but was easy enough. works fantastic, and reads in proper imperial units. My machine is a metric one.
