Mill-Drill Identification

[Mr. Chadburn]

Howdy.

Does anybody know this mill-drill (round column mill ?)

I have a chance to buy it from a retired machinist but this was his home mill and not used much.

The motor is out of it because he moved locations.

Yes she needs a clean up.

Sorry I'm new.

Hello and welcome.

That is an odd duck, I’d buy it just to have something so unique. Do you know what the spindle is and does it come with any tooling?

As with everything the cost is a real factor, a few hundred and it would already be in the back of my truck. A few thousand not so much.

If the seller takes a liking to you and starts loading you up with other stuff you’ll be off to a good start.

That has a pretty distinctive shape on the belt cover — I’m seeing a Busy-Bee 240 mill drill that looks similar and would kind of fit seeing as it may have been a Canadian purchase judging by your location. Others might have better familiarity with them.

I'm with Frank. Looks like Busy Bee to me also. Older maybe made in Taiwan?
