Meet My Induma 1-S Mill

[JPhillips]

Walterwoj, I have an Induma just like yours, Love it. Mine doesn't have power feed on table. Inside the column , there should a very well built coolant pump. Had mine for about 10yrs now. Mine is noisy up top and have ordered new bearings for everything except the spindle. I think they are great machines. They say the timing belt is almost impossible to find. Mine has a Gates timing belt #40173.

Cool, at least now I know I'm not the only one!

just a bump on this old thread...any updates to share on this Induma @walterwoj
I've just made a handshake deal on one of these old girls...was curious what sort of calamity and cure you've had to come up with

 

[walterwoj]

To my knowledge and experience they are solid reliable machines with no built in gotchas except that they only take SOME Bridgeport parts, some things are different (ie a Bridgeport power feed does not fit without modification). Otherwise, everything wrong with mine I can attribute to user issues (both mine and previous owners!)

If you have any questions please let me know and I'll help where I can!

I replaced the spindle pin in mine (not an easy task), as the spindle must be removed from the quill; very soon after it was replaced, it sheared off; I never replaced it, and it seemed to be just fine without it, but I did not use collets, just solid adaptors.

Been a toolmaker for 37yrs and all that key/pin has ever done for me is cause confusion when I have to use the odd machine that still has one.
