Machinist Dynapower 10x50 Vertical Mill

[boweed]

Does anyone know where I can find a manual on these? I need to take the table off and probably replace it as well. So the next question... anyone know where I can find parts?

Some idiot was trying to put the mill on 4 car dollies over the weekend and when lift the 2nd side with a pry bar to slide in the last 2 the mill rolled away and fell off the bar, it was only in the about 4-5 inches but with the momentum it tipped over.

That's how I flipped my first lathe .

Yikes, what a catastrophe! It looks like the lead-screw nut sheared and the screw is likely bent or damaged. If there are no cracks in the table or main castings, and parts are available or Bridgeport parts will fit, you might have a chance. Otherwise might be totaled, as repair might cost more than replacement.

Got her in her new home but she is hurt



The X axis was centered before it fell so I am sure a casting is broke inside there.

Yeah... table casting is broke

Well the yoke that holds the X and Y axis nuts may have broken but not necessarily the casting. The Y axis lead-screw probably bent too, though you might be able to straighten it. The broken bracket that supports the X axis lead-screw and hand-wheel is probably not too hard to replace.

How is the head?

You might want to make a full assessment and check eBay for the needed parts. There are quite a few available at reasonable prices.

The table end caps are available for as little as $25.00.

The Y axis moves back and forth really well.

The head seems just fine, the idiots knee broke the fall.

I think I have a Bridgeport end bracket out in the garage somewhere . Not sure if it's the same , but I'll try to locate it today .

Was he hurt?

I hope you didn't pay for this project....

I've owned a dropped lathe before and don't think I'd take on another project like that. In my case I just kept finding more stuff broken and eventually unloaded it cheap.
